I have some experience.

It seems that you should explicitely allow bridging in iptables as well
as in ebtables.

So, in addition to my bridge roules in ebtables I also have this rule in
iptables:

iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -o br0 -j ACCEPT

Otherwise, it could block bridging by later rules or the policy.
