Are you sure your MAC address is actually embedded in the TCP
packets?

My guess is that what you're seeing are the ethernet frames
that carry the ip packets used by tor's TCP connection.
If that's the case, we're talking about different OSI layers
(ethernet is layer 2, ip is layer 3), and only the ip payload
of the frames will reach the tor server.
