Actually, yes, it works.

I started digging into the code soon after my inquiry and determined
that if I do:

  brctl stp br0 off
  brctl setageing br0 0
  brctl setfd br0 0

I get it to behave as wanted. The last setting is just paranoia, in
case the bridge decided it was reconfiguring itself for some odd
reason.

Ofcourse the bridge still learns the MAC addresses, but since it
always considers them expired, it is just wasted effort.

So, thanks for your assistance, problem resolved.
