Yeah, this still looks like a problem on the VM-to-VM-bridge, can't help 
much on this point. Are you sure your VM-to-VM-bridge allow learning of 
foreign MAC address ?

I am pretty sure it works for broadcast and fail at forwarding unicast, 
you can try setting lwIP MAC address to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, if lwIP don't 
filter that (I didn't actually checked the code) it might prove my point :)
