OK, so we're talking about a locally transmitted packet, with IP options leaving the IP stack, entering bridging, and then reentering the IP stack?
In that case the packet should no longer be treated as an IP packet when it enters the bridge. So if it did have options and we want to support that in bridging then we need to parse IP options there as my comment suggested.
