There is a promiscuous mode on the vSwitches. That setting might need to be 
adjusted.

in Bridge Mode - HELP!


Apparently I wasn't missing anything. I rebooted the pfSense VM and walked
a way for a while and now all is well. I suspect an ARP or other layer two
issue after introducing the bridge and moving the VM nics over to vSwitch1.
Thanks for all your help! :-)
