When trying to redirect bridged frames to the bridge device itself via the ebtables nat-prerouting chain and the dnat target then this currently fails: The ethernet destination of the frame is dnat'ed to the MAC address of the bridge itself just fine and the correctly altered frame can even be captured via a tcpdump on br0 (with or without promisc mode). However, the IP code drops it in the beginning of ip_input.c/ip_rcv() as the dnat target did not update the skb->pkt_type. If after dnat'ing the packet is now destined to us then the skb->pkt_type needs to be updated from PACKET_OTHERHOST to PACKET_HOST, too.
