Ok, so the conclusion seems to be that if I put the bridge into "AP
client" mode, I can have only one computer connected to it, not two.
This appears to be consistent with the observations: one of the three
computers on the switch behind the bridge will work, the other two
won't, and if I powercycle the bridge then the different one may start
working (but the other one will stop working).
