I could be wrong about this, but this behavior may be designed such that the 
bridge can learn the MAC addresses that are available on each of the 
interfaces.  You might also want to look into the open-vswitch project - if 
you're concerned about accurate traffic accounting and switch behavior, this 
may be more to your liking.  It also features abilities for things like port 
monitoring, which would allow you better visibility into the traffic on your 
bridges (switches).
