MR8300, bridging: eth0 vs VLAN eth0.1, why does eth0 work?

'Released', as in "23.05.0" - no, not (quite) yet.
Easily available, as in master snapshots, 23.05-snapshots (or the upcoming 23.05.0-rc1 release candidate), yes.

ar40xx being very 'special' and quirky in regards to VLANs is (was) a known issue, this has been resorted with the new DSA based drivers fixing this - the difference is so major that any snapshot is preferred over the previous swconfig based releases if custom VLANs are desired.
