Looks like your testcase:
- works in 2.6.36 and older
- crashes starting with 2.6.37 (-rc1), likely due to Bandan's commit 462fb2af9788a82 (bridge : Sanitize skb before it enters the IP stack) [1]
- crash fix is in 2.6.38.4, likely due to Eric's commit f8e9881c2aef1e9 (bridge: reset IPCB in br_parse_ip_options) [2]
- doesn't work post-crashfix
