Here you're creating two separate network profiles.  You only need to
create one profile for tap0 that includes the bridge-slave bits:

$ nmcli connection add type tun \
         ifname tap0 con-name tap0 \
         slave-type bridge master br0 \
         mode tap owner `id -u` ip4 0.0.0.0/24

or:

$ nmcli connection add type tun \
          ifname tap0 con-name tap0 \
          mode tap owner `id -u` ip4 0.0.0.0/24
$ nmcli connection mod tap0 connection.slave-type bridge \
          connection.master br0

'nmcli con add type <*-slave>' is just a short-cut to fill slave-type
for you.  The major point is that whenever you use "nmcli con add" it
will create a *new* connection profile.  You want to either put all
properties in one 'nmcli con add' or you can use 'nmcli con mod' to set
them after creation.
