Well, in my case the RST goes over the bridge also. But the main
factor is the following comment made by Philip:

In my settings, I have a transparent bridge which does not allow ip
forwarding. According to the comment above, this would prevent the RST
from being sent.
In any way, I will happily test any suggestions/patches after the weekend.
Cheers.
