bridge changes id on addif - is that normal?

hi 

i've setup the following on debian etch with bridge-utils 1.4 
(backported) and kernel 2.6.26 from backports.org:

vlan10 with raw device eth0
vlan20 with raw device eth0

br10 with initial port vlan10
br20 with initial port vlan20

i've set hw addr to DE:AD:BE:EF:34:10 for br10 and DE:AD:BE:EF:34:20 for 
br20

the bridges are used to connect virtual machine nic's.

"brctl show" before any other port is attached:

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br10            8000.deadbeef3410       no              vlan10
br20            8000.deadbeef3420       no              vlan20


then after "brctl addif br10 vnet1" and "brctl addif br10 vnet2" brctl 
show says:

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br10            8000.00ff351a360c       no              vnet1
                                                        vlan10
br20            8000.00ff8fe8ee1d       no              vnet2
                                                        vlan20

why the bridge id changed? on delif the bridge id changes back to the 
original one.

On "brctl addbr" the following kernel message is printed:

[426666.180613] br10: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM 
feature.

if i don't set the mac addr to the bridges they get both the hw addr from 
eth0. the bridge id doesn't change on addif but there are many kernel 
messages like the one below:

[405275.752398] vnet1: received packet with  own address as source address

Any hints appreciated.
