       [-]arp Enable or disable the use of the ARP protocol on this 
interface.

Maybe you should leave the arp bit on, i.e.
  ip l s eth0 up
  ip l s eth1 up
  brctl addif br0 eth0 eth1
  ip l s br0 up
  (by default it will take 15 seconds for the bridge to become alive now)

Not explicitly needed.

This is not needed for brX.

That won't work. A bridged packet has -i br0 -o br0. You must match it with 
-m physdev --physdev-in $EXTERIOR --physdev-out $INTERIOR.
