Bridge mode does not work

[montvid]

Using:
create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
a bridge interface is created:
Create a bridge interface... br0 created.
br0 is never used but eth0 is used instead thereby disabling internet on the host machine. The workaround is to create oneself a br0 interface and use it instead of eth0.
Anyone has ideas how to fix the script?
