I would suspect the reason it will not work is to do with wireless isolation (security feature) in combination with the router knowing the resolved IP is its own.

So it won't send any data out to the internet as it is for its own IP address, at the same time the wireless isolation stops BT-Fon side connections talking to your internal network.

Guesswork though, not guaranteed fact like you are looking for. Maybe this will tempt some more replies though.
