It working is possibly a side effect of adding an IP address. When 
your OS config scripts configure an IP address on an interface, they 
will set the interface state to up. It may well be that all you need 
to do is manually set the interface to up - "ifconfig ethx up" I 
think.
This stumped me for a while in my early days of experimenting with Xen.

If you don't actually need an address/working Dom0 interface on that 
bridge, then it's more secure to not configure one.
