It definitely has to do with the version of the bridge utils.  I recompiled
the bridge-utils included with Centos 5.7 (bridge-utils-1.1-3.el5.src.rpm)
for Centos 6.2.
Works perfectly now:

# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
vbr314 0000.e41f131c3efc no bond0.314
vnet0
vbr315 0000.e41f131c3efc no bond0.315

It would be nice however if it would work with the default bridge-utils
version (bridge-utils-1.2-9.el6.x86_64).

Best regards,
Frido
