This is what is trapping your frames.

br_input.c:br_handle_frame
	if (p->br->stp_enabled &&
	    !memcmp(dest, bridge_ula, 5) &&
	    !(dest[5] & 0xF0)) {

I didn't write it (Lennert did), and wouldn't change it without
finding the relevant place in the standard.  I looked, and the
802.1d standard is kind of obtuse about multicast addresses. They often
write these standards as spec's with yet another spec on how to map
the standard to real LAN's...
