Yes, it is.   Routed and bridged traffic over Frame-Relay uses different 
encapsulation types.  Packets bridged on Frame-Relay will have an 
encapsulated Ethernet frame.  Do some debug frame packet on both the 
routed and bridged sides.

You can do a work around by putting an IP address on the bridged side 
and doing a static arp.  We go into this in our Frame-Relay CoD, if you 
are interested.

Hth,
