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
