There might be a misunderstanding here judging from the shortness of this thread. I understood it such that the bridge ports (eth0,eth1) have MTU 1500, yet br0 (in essence the third bridge port if you so wish) itself has MTU 1300. Therefore, frame forwarding from eth0 to eth1 should succeed, since the 1300-byte MTU is only relevant if the bridge decides the packet needs to be locally delivered.
