This is just a guess, since I haven't tried it, but here it goes...
In your configuration without a direct route to 10.30.3.x:
When you ping from the bridge, the packet is sent to your default gateway and 
then to the host.
When the 10.30.3.x host sends a packet that is redirected on the bridge, the 
bridge wants to reply directly to the 10.30.3.x host and doesn't have a 
direct route, so the bridge drops the packet.

cheers,
Bart
