No. But you have to tell via config (I don't know how KVM does this) which 
bridge the VM is going to use. And if you want it to be reachable via two 
bridges you have to set it up for two bridges and give it two IP numbers. 
And the packet then has to come in thru the correct interface/bridge, there 
is no "bridging" between the bridges. You would need to set up some 
additional routing to work around this (probably, I'm not a routing 
expert).

Is that possibly not the case? e.g. your VMs are still setup to use only 
one bridge?
