Are you talking about a loopback tunnel where both endpoints are on the
same machine?  I know that that does not necessarily work regardless of
whether it's OVS or the Linux bridge because of bugs or weaknesses in
the Linux TCP/IP stack.

If you're talking about tunnels from one machine to another, that should
work.
