As Matthias suggested, I just changed my mesh1 interface, which was just
using the eth0 vlan interface, to a bridged interface. So my mesh1 is
now a bridge interface with only eth0 on it. (mesh1 is the interface I
add to the batman-adv file.)

In my /etc/config/network file, my mesh1 interface now looks like this

config interface 'mesh1'
option proto 'none'
option type 'bridge' # this line added from before, nothing else
changed
option ifname 'eth0'
option mtu '1528'

It seems batman-adv really does have a problem with vlans on openwrt.
Why? I don't know...

Cheers,
