In NetBSD the vlan header is always removed on input. So the problem is
somewhere else, maybe in the way bridges interracts with input/output routines
of others interfaces.

Jason Thorpe (thorpej@netbsd.org) did port the bridge stuff from openbsd.
I'm a bit familiar with vlan, and have the hardware to test, but I can't
look at this right now. Maybe next week ...
In any case use send-pr to report the problem, and provide as much details
as possible.
