I did mentioned about this long long time ago. If you search 
through the older posts, I did mentioned a "workaround" for it.
Unless now you are working on a fix in the kernel.
 
Basically, I use ebtables to redirect the traffic to enter and leave 
via the physical interface instead of the (virtual) bridge interface.
