Traffic flow reporting (netflows) with a bridged connection

Is there any way to get traffic flow reporting (netflows) via a bridged connection? I have enabled traffic flows and all I see are multicast and broadcast packets (and presumably packets sent directly to the mikrotik itself, though I haven't verified that). I've got my bridged connection going through the firewall (use-ip-firewall=yes) successfully, but that doesn't affect the traffic flow logging.

This post: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=41226 suggests that this doesn't work by default, but it doesn't seem entirely clear-cut as to whether use-ip-firewall=yes should resolve this problem or not.

FWIW, this is with a RB750G, RouterOS 3.31.

Since nobody's pointed out any obvious flaws in my thinking, I'm going to assume the answer is that this is impossible.
