Sent by whom?  A tap device that is not opened is like an unconnected
Ethernet device.  The fact that it is bridged to another only means
that you have a permanent MAC address, as well as an IP address if
you wish, on that bridge.

It's really no different to having an additional, unconnected Ethernet
device in the system.
