Then it would in my opinion be more correct to run dhclient on the
bridge interface.
However bridge0 doesnt seem to support broadcast packets which are
necessary for DHCP to work. That could be the problem.

I see that tap1 does support broadcast but since it is a member of the
bridge it should/shouldn't support it depending on how you see it.
