It is indeed a "single" redundant router, though the traffic from the 
other side of the bridge (the OpenVPN clients) generally don't need to 
be routed redudantantly. The OpenVPN clients use OpenVPN's redundancy 
(multiple "remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" lines), and thus use the 
non-redundant IP address of the OpenVPN client they're connected to as 
gateway (which is fine, because if the server dies OpenVPN connects to a 
different server anyway)...

So I don't really *NEED* the CARP ip address over the bridge (the static 
arp works, so I have a working solution, albeit an ugly one; an ARP 
request generates a reply from every member of the redundant cluster).

I guess it's just not a supported configuration yet and it's not my 
stupidity (in this case anyway ;-)) that's the problem.
