If on Node2 instead of running Bro you capture packets with tcpdump, does
Bro run correctly on the resulting trace?  (Perhaps this is how you're
already capturing the traffic that it works correctly on, but I thought
of asking because on some systems packet capture for local traffic is
incomplete, and in particular lacks locally sent packets.)

What OS's are the Nodes running?
