I've pondered this for a little while and I'm wondering...  Given that 
it's always the same MACs that get affected, wouldn't this hint some 
sort of hashing issue?  I don't know how the code works, but assuming 
that some hashing is done with the MAC address of the interface in the 
bridge and that both in.2 and in.3 have the same MAC, I can see how this 
could cause problems.

I've CCed the dev list to see if any of them has some input on this.  I 
can't really code myself so I may be talking nonsense here...
