No, the default policy is ACCEPT for the FORWARD chain. In
any case the problem takes place only with large packets.
For example if I try

ping -s 1472 192.168.99.74

it works, but

ping -s 1473 192.168.99.74

it does not.
I am sure that the network cards are VLAN 802.1q aware
because only the forwarding process is broken. If instead I
just ping the IP of the bridge interface it works fine.
