Subject: 3.9-rc6 (only) one particular tap device putted into forwarding state

I realized these new syslog messages at a 32 bit stable Gentoo, which have
4 configured TAP devices attached to a bridge :

2013-04-08T19:55:20.048+02:00 n22 kernel: br0: port 4(tap3) entered forwarding state
2013-04-08T19:55:20.048+02:00 n22 kernel: br0: port 4(tap3) entered forwarding state
2013-04-08T19:55:20.316+02:00 n22 kernel: br0: port 4(tap3) entered disabled state

This happened one time only and only for one device (for tap3, and all 4 devices are identical configured)
for one boot attempt till now - no configuration were changed.
