Yes.. it's likely that bro is not using pf_ring properly.
What does this output?
broctl exec "ldd `which bro`|grep pcap"
You should see lines like
libpcap.so.1 => /opt/pfring/lib/libpcap.so.1
and not the normal libpcap in /usr/lib
If you look at your conn.log you also may see the same exact connection logged once for each worker that you are running.
