How about trying the following:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
        bridge_ports eth0 ctn0
        bridge_fd 0
        bridge_stp off
        pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01


Btw, that came from a workaround to a completely unrelated bridging 
problem with libvirt 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/libvirt/+bug/579892).
