My example was incomplete. To see the bug one should of course first
add an interface to the bridge:

# brctl addif bridge1 eth0


and observe that the bridge id remains unset:

# brctl show
bridge name    bridge id        STP enabled    interfaces
bridge1        8000.000000000000    no            eth0



If bridge1 had been created without specifying the mac address the
result is as expected:

# brctl show
bridge name    bridge id        STP enabled    interfaces
bridge1        8000.28d244547cdb    no            eth0

Cheers,

Tom
