Putting a vlan device on eth1 actually affects the behavior of the
driver, which is why that works.  I suspect that if you put the vlan
device on both the physical interface and the bridge you would see
packets with tags on the bridge.

Regardless, the solution is to remove the dependency on vlan devices
by converting over to the new vlan model.  Francois, any chance that
you might have some time to look at this?
