An old thread; but I had a similar problem with slow DHCP response and Linux bridging was indeed the problem. My OS=Debian squeeze. Had to change /etc/network/interfaces from:
....
auto tap0 br0
iface br0 inet static
     address 172.16.210.254
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     bridge_ports eth1 eth2 tap0
     bridge_stp off
     bridge_maxwait 1
iface eth1 inet manual
iface eth2 inet manual
....

To:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
	address 172.16.210.254
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 172.16.210.255
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
	address 172.16.211.254
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 172.16.211.255

Note: Don't forget to change /etc/dnsmasq.conf before reboot.
Cheers!
