I suppose you could change the MAC of the bridge to be the same as the physical interface, but i'm not even sure this would even work bearing in mind the implication for ARP requests, etc.

Ok, there is a hack to get past this.
I let the modem associate with the machines physical nic, then take
the interface down and assign a different mac address to it. Then
start the guest os up with the mac address just removed from the physical
interface. This seems to work without any problems. The guest os now
acquires the public ip though dhcp.
