And now the million dollar (or euro..) question, why does it work if I make a bridge with only this interface (well this also work if I bridge several interfaces..) ?
This means the packet are copied when the interface is a bridge(or at least when it's not a veth nor a venet interface)?


If you will create a bridge with veth device you will have following situation: all outgoing packets from veth will be delivered to VE0 from bridge interface and these packets will be copied before routing as bridge is not virtual interface. Thus tcpdump will show not changed packets.

By the way, when you said, the packet are copied, it's the kernel which makes the copy, right?


Right.
