Unknown Behavior of PF+ALTQ on a Bridge

Just to be more clean:

My pf.conf:
----
wan_if="bce0"

set limit { states 100000, frags 20000 }
set loginterface $wan_if
set optimization normal
set block-policy drop
set fingerprints "/etc/pf.os"
set skip on lo

altq on $wan_if cbq bandwidth 100% queue { out_bal, out_std }
   queue out_bal bandwidth 50% priority 0 cbq
   queue out_std bandwidth 50% priority 0 cbq (default borrow)

pass out on $wan_if queue (out_bal)
----


The "pfctl -vvs queue" show:

----
queue root_bce0 on bce0 bandwidth 1Gb priority 0 cbq( wrr root )
{out_bal, out_std}
  [ pkts:      50117  bytes:   13947411  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]
  [ qlength:   0/ 50  borrows:      0  suspends:      0 ]
  [ measured:  3869.4 packets/s, 8.31Mb/s ]
queue  out_bal on bce0 bandwidth 500Mb priority 0
  [ pkts:      33198  bytes:    7175985  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]
  [ qlength:   0/ 50  borrows:      0  suspends:      0 ]
  [ measured:  2591.3 packets/s, 4.36Mb/s ]
queue  out_std on bce0 bandwidth 500Mb priority 0 cbq( borrow default )
  [ pkts:      16919  bytes:    6771426  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]
  [ qlength:   0/ 50  borrows:      0  suspends:      0 ]
  [ measured:  1278.1 packets/s, 3.95Mb/s ]
----

So, my question is: why the default queue is being used, If I have a
rule to use the out_bal queue to all outgoing traffic on that
interface?

I need to redirect all the traffic from a subnet (/24) to one queue
(incoming and outgoing traffic)... so what I can understand is that,
this is not possible with PF+ALTQ. Am I wrong?
