It seems you somewhat misunderstood this new feature. As Donald already
pointed out: It does not apply in your case.
But thanks a lot for all your questions because it made me aware of the fact
that my explanations were not clear enough. To address the matter I wrote a
document: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/bridge-loop-avoidance
Let me know if it answers the questions raised here and also pay close
attention to the handcrafted fancy graphics. :-)
Regards,
Marek
