You are welcome.
I wondered if something like that might be going on.

No, EBTables will not prevent a bridge from having to go through the
learning process. EBTables might filter out the frame so that it
doesn't (fully) traverse the bridge, but it will not educate the MAC table.
Remember that the bridge will behave just like any switch would that
multiple servers are plugged in to.
