I'm still a little confused as to what it is you're trying to accomplish;
if you create a GRE port like this

#  ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tun0 -- set interface tun0 type=gre
options:remote_ip=192.168.1.10


the tunnel should work with no problems. From what you're saying, it seems
like you're creating a tunnel and trying to add an additional tunnel
adapter? What does your topology look like?
