Sounds strange, but I'm not very familiar with bridged setups. Maybe
it does not work this way for you as it seems to work suboptimal for
Sven too. He wrote

  Perhaps you must prevent local networking from using the bridged
  interface (for whatever reason, this does not seem to work in my
  case)

and configures his host to route over his wireless - Sven?
