you mean this setup:
eth1 (ingress port) -> br0 (bridge) -> red (vrf)
IP address on br0:
9: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master
red state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:e0:f9:1c:00:37 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.100.1.4/24 scope global br0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:37/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
And then ping a neighbor:
# ping -I red -c1 -w1 10.100.1.254
ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than red.
PING 10.100.1.254 (10.100.1.254) from 10.100.1.4 red: 56(84) bytes of data.

Does tcpdump on each level show the response? tcpdump on eth, tcpdump on
bridge and tcpdump on the vrf device?

This one works (see above), so I suspect it is something with your setup.
