This is your problem. You can’t bridge over wifi interfaces.
That’s a limitation of station mode wifi.

I had the suspect...
Is this documented somewhere? Is this a bug or feature?

That’s inherent to how wifi is designed. It’s arguably a bug, but if so it’s one in the 802.11 spec, not in the implementation.

Well, VMware Workstation and Fusion can do it.
But they rewrite MAC addresses or some such - it's ugly.

Yeah, L2 NAT is the hack to work around that limitation.
But … No. Just … No.

I also don’t think we have a layer-2 NAT solution in FreeBSD. I have a vague recollection of OpenBSD doing something with L2 and pf (or something that looks like pf on L2), but I can’t immediately find that again.
