I am suffering from this too, there doesn’t even seem to be any way to
suppress the syslog pollution.

Title:
  avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host"

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 14.04 (Release: 14.04) and looking for other
  information in /var/log/syslog, I see that syslog is being flooded by
  "Invalid response packet from host" messages from avahi-daemon.

  I searched around to see why this might be and ran across the following avahi mailing list post along with a patch to fix it:
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002171.html

  >>>
  I would say you can safely ignore it, since any machine on your
  network running a recent OSX version will cause these messages.
  Here's a patch with what we change to avoid these messages flooding
  syslog.
