It seems that the problem lays on the network - I can not see in example 
  SYN+ACK packets on the mirror port.

I made tcpdump-traces at both points - bridge and mirroring-port of the 
same connection and ran bro on it.

-- on mirroring-port
1275600294.796861 2.990471 62.xx.xx.xx 10.20.20.54 ssh 54305 22 tcp 1636 
? SH X cc=1
1275600303.621237 ? 62.xx.xx.xx 10.20.20.54 ssh 55537 22 tcp ? ? S0 X cc=1

-- same connection on bridge
1275599866.464086 2.992575 62.xx.xx.xx 10.20.20.54 ssh 54305 22 tcp 1637 
2120 SF X

Sorry for the 'false-alarm'.
