This looks like the bug, though I mis-remembered the details (it's not
the bridge module that drops the packet, rather it's the transmit path
once the bridge has forwarded the packet on).

If you want this to work then one option is to check for packets
longer than 1514 bytes in the bridge forwarding code and truncate them
(to 1514 bytes). This workaround was useful for me in the past.

The underlying (e1000g) bug is now fixed in Nevada, likely scheduled
for inclusion in S10U5.
