It's not a bug, but HW limitation.
Only FDIR supports mark action, but i40e FDIR doesn't support filter with eth type 0x0800.

Please refer to the following 
ether_type = rte_be_to_cpu_16(eth_spec->type);

                                if (next_type == RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_VLAN ||
                                    ether_type == RTE_ETHER_TYPE_IPV4 ||
                                    ether_type == RTE_ETHER_TYPE_IPV6 ||
                                    ether_type == RTE_ETHER_TYPE_ARP ||
                                    ether_type == outer_tpid) {
                                        rte_flow_error_set(error, EINVAL,
                                                     RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ITEM,
                                                     item,
                                                     "Unsupported ether_type.");
                                        return -rte_errno;
                                }
