Doing this defeats part of the purpose of running batman-adv on a LAN. Picture the case where nodes have links between each other both on their wireless interfaces and through Homeplug adapters like the old Netgear XE102 Ethernet-to-Powerline bridge
It seems you somewhat misunderstood this new feature. As Donald already pointed out: It does not apply in your case.
But thanks a lot for all your questions because it made me aware of the fact that my explanations were not clear enough. To address the matter I wrote a document: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/bridge-loop-avoidance
Let me know if it answers the questions raised here and also pay close attention to the handcrafted fancy graphics. :-)
