No, OGMs have to originate from the bridge interface bat0 belongs to.

If an interface is part of a bridge (e.g. br0) it can't be used by batman-adv 
at the same time. The bridge module pulls in all the traffic. But that always 
has been the case and is not a new development.

Is that a theoretical question or do you have a use case ?
