Many, possibly it's even fair to say most, NAT implementations behave the way you describe: traffic from behind the NAT to a public IP address in the same subnet as the NAT address simply doesn't work.
It's almost always not a routing issue but rather a limitation of the firewall implementation that really should have been addressed a long time ago, but many implementatins -- even "enterprise" class gear -- still don't work around it.
