That depends. Maybe the bridge interface is configured different than
the tap interface? Once bridged, the tap interface becomes a slave to
the bridge interface, and all settings (address, netmask, etc) are
inherited from the bridge interface, as far as I know.

There is no bridge mode, I think I wrote that by accident, and I
probably meant to say switch mode. Everyone in the VPN should use the
same mode.
