After looking at Poma's configuration, this appears to be a bug in NetworkManager. Apparently, bridges can only be created with a DHCP address when using the keyfile plugin. Bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080643
What's the deal with the keyfile plugin? I've been under the impression for several years that it would ultimately become the default plugin for NetworkManager. Yet, I seem to consistently run into parsing and configuration problems with it, and the documentation is woeful. Plus, it seems like the parameters have changed somewhat recently to be inconsistent, which is notable by the removal of the "ignore" option for the ipv4 method, but is still there for the ipv6 method.
