There are several issues here that I see above and beyond the problems you are having with vls. Many pieces of 802.11 hardware simply don't support multicast receive in an efficient way. The last time I looked at the acx100 driver code, it did not support multicast receive, period - the necessary ioctls were not there. So if you wanted to receive multicast frames, you would need to put the card into promiscuous mode. You might consider contacting the author, Darron Broad, about this. I don't know about the behaviour of the Linux bridging code with respect to bridging multicast frames; the behaviour for most low-end hardware switch implementations is to propagate them on all other ports as if they were broadcasts.
