Hi Tomas.

I had the simmilar problem on Tp-link  WR1043ND v2 with OpenWRT (can't 
now remember the kernel version). I found out, that traffic appears 
after some time or after I reattach the carrier (patch-cord). Using 
tcpdump I could see outgoing client's traffic on wireless interface and 
bridge interface, but not on the physical interface. I didn't find the 
solution yet but you can try may action to find out if your problem is 
the same to join with me to find the solution.
