While the documentation says you should assign an IP to the bridge it is probably
not a good idea, code aside, since bridges are layer 2 devices and IPs are
layer 3.

Haven't seen this issue while testing if_bridge/epair under 11-CURRENT but also
have not been assigning IPs to bridges, only to bridge members.
