A suggestion: If this is unusual it will probably help to make it a compile/boot option or spew logs (at least for the experimental kernels). Otherwise Davem's idea of adding "known bridges which do this" knowledge_base_table sounds sane. Unless this will never screw anybody which is what ypou seem to be saying..
