OK, so we're talking about a locally transmitted packet, with
IP options leaving the IP stack, entering bridging, and then
reentering the IP stack?

In that case the packet should no longer be treated as an IP
packet when it enters the bridge.  So if it did have options
and we want to support that in bridging then we need to parse
IP options there as my comment suggested.

Thanks,
