[-]arp Enable or disable the use of the ARP protocol on this interface.

I was told to do that by the Snort folks but maybe .... not?

This is my bridge setup:

/sbin/ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0
/usr/local/sbin/brctl addbr br0
/usr/local/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth1
/usr/local/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth2
/sbin/ifconfig br0 up
/usr/local/sbin/brctl stp br0 off
/sbin/ifconfig br0 0.0.0.0 -arp

i'm a little rusty on my linux bridging commands--but why did you execute that last command? the "ifconfig br0 0.0.0.0 -arp" one. it seems like that would block arp traffic from traversing the bridge, but i could be mistaken...
