Since you haven't give much detail on your setup (is stp enabled on both 
bridges, for example), I'm not 100% clear what may be happening.  But it 
does sound like something I ran into before.

See my post, and Stephen's reply:

Recently ran into a problem with the 2.6.18 kernel on Xscale arch when a bridge,
with multiple interfaces on it, is configured with a redundant loop. All
interfaces are left on forwarding and nexer switch to block when the loop is
introduced. This was tested against a 2.6.16 kernel and the problem did not
occur, interfaces forwared and blocked correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
