Please bear with me as I don't quite understand the significance of the
vlan_mode setting.
In any case, I changed the br0 port and vnet0 port to vlan_mode=native-tagged,
still guest 1 is not able to ping guest 2. The ping result is the same as
before.

Also it looks like later you actually want packets going to port vnet0
at least in the native VLAN to be tagged. That's native-tagged mode,
