What about console dmesg output. Because you can fix by putting in promiscuous mode, I suspect the problem is outside of the bridge itself, could be the drivers. The bridge itself puts the device into promiscuous mode already. Lastly, the Fedora and upstream kernels are not exactly the same. Please retest with a standard upstream kernel (like 2.6.39.2).
