From bridge(4):

BUGS
     The bridge driver currently supports only Ethernet and Ethernet-like
     (e.g. 802.11) network devices.

     The bridge driver currently does not support snooping via bpf(4) or
     transparent filtering.

If you're trying to do transparent filtering, that's the problem.  :)

Now, what needs to happen to fix that?
