thanks for the answers I've received to this.

I think that was kinda what he was talking about, since a switch could leak packets to the wrong interface the machine could get confused. But this still sounds wrong to me (and apparently to everybody else here) because the bridge would never actually see the frame arriving on the wrong interface and the routing code that deals with packets on the management interface wouldn't care about the bridge table (right?).
Anyway, since you all agree that this is unlikely/impossible to cause a problem I think I'll take my chances with it.
Thanks again,
