VRRP issue between HP 5406zl and Comware

Intro:

We have 4 switches setup with VRRP on 4 subnets, if we change master on one subnet all hosts on the other subnets try to use the new masters IP for next-hop instead of their default gateway.

The setup:

2x HP 5406zl (Switch A and B)

2x HPE FF 5940 in IRF (Switch C)

Switch-A

Vlan110 = 172.16.1.2/24 Vlan111 = 172.16.2.2/24 Vlan112 = 172.16.3.2/24 Vlan113 = 172.16.4.2/24 

Switch-B

Vlan110 = 172.16.1.3/24 Vlan111 = 172.16.2.3/24 Vlan112 = 172.16.3.3/24 Vlan113 = 172.16.4.3/24 

Switch-C

Vlan110 = 172.16.1.4/24 Vlan111 = 172.16.2.4/24 Vlan112 = 172.16.3.4/24 Vlan113 = 172.16.4.4/24 

Virtual IP = 172.16.x.1/24

Example vlan config from 5406zl:

vlan 113 ip address 172.16.4.2 255.255.255.0 vrrp vrid 10 backup virtual-ip-address 172.16.4.1 255.255.255.0 priority 250 enable exit exit 

Example vlan config from FF 5940:

interface Vlan-interface113 ip address 172.16.4.4 255.255.255.0 vrrp vrid 10 virtual-ip 172.16.4.1 vrrp vrid 10 priority 150 

All vlans have vrid 10 setup with all switches configured as backup, switch-A has priority.

The problem:

If we change the master on vlan 113 to Switch-C, then hosts on vlan 110 through 112 decide to use 172.16.x.4 as their next-hop, ignoring their default gateway of 172.16.x.1, the second we move vlan 113 master back to Switch-A the hosts revert to using their default gateway.

Have anyone seen this before?
