Hmm...I haven't tried that yet.  Unfortunately I'm not in close
proximity to the system in question at the moment, so it'll be a few
hours (evening, San Francisco time) until I can try this.  I'll test and
report back.

PS.  Food for thought:  Should bridge devices have IFF_MULTICAST set?
Mine doesn't.
