It's also possible that the driver in that OpenWRT release doesn't support mixing of two Wireless modes for one radio and that DD-WRT made an other decision about the driver/kernel for your device.
Yes they were bridged.
When I tried to connect to the router (wl0.1) with a second PC it simply failed. (I don't mean those "Limited connectivity" errors when Windows can't find a DHCP server, it really didn't connect. Tried with multiple PCs.)
Then I set wl0 (sta) to a non-existing SSID and I was able to connect to wl0.1. So I guess it can't do those 2 things at once by default. However, with DD-WRT it works.
In DD-WRT, when in "Repeater Bridge" mode, I can see those two processes with the command "ps":
nas -P /tmp/nas.wl0.1lan.pid -H 34954 -l br0 -i wl0.1 -A -m 128 -k [key and more stuff]
nas -P /tmp/nas.wl0wan.pid -H 34954 -l br0 -i wl0 -S -m 128 -k [key and more stuff]
I tried to start exactly these processes with Backfire but only ONE of them works at the same time, depending on which I start first.
Also the OpenWRT-Wiki said "-l br0" can't work together with "-S" (client mode) but there it clearly works. I have no idea what that means or if it means anything at all.
Hm... if it's really impossible because of driver/kernel then I can't do much I guess. :S

Thanks for that but the router only acts as client as far as I can see, not as repeater. Or did I miss something?

Thanks for the help, you two!
