The problem is that forwarding between subnets is the responsibility
of your switch. The switch does its job, but since the two clients are
not on the same IP subnet, they can not reach each other w/o the help of
an intermediate router.
Perhaps I am mixing up two separate networking concepts.
On a machine configured to act as a gateway, I would expect a single interface with more than one subnet to route packets correctly across those subnets. That may not be how it works in practice.
If it does not work, I would question why not. If it does work then I would expect the same behaviour on each of a bridge's constituent interfaces?
