Hello, I didn't find what to answer to you mounth ago. But now I also have an installation of centos 6 (at past I used centos 5.7) , and I have the same problems as you. First of all, did you find any solutions?
 
I only found that the problem is in br0 device. I can't guess why but it not recive ARP REPLY packets. 

tcpdump on all devices (tap0, eth1, br0) give me the same:

20:12:22.012270 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.11.3 tell 192.168.11.33, length 28
20:12:23.027897 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.11.3 tell 192.168.11.33, length 28
20:12:24.027951 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.11.3 tell 192.168.11.33, length 28
//192.158.11.33 is remoute PC ip-address, and 192.168.11.3 is one of my local hosts//

and no APR REPLY.

Intresting that on other hand I have the same configs files on Centos 5.7. and everything work perfectly.
