OK, well the only 'lead' I can see there is that later versions of
EtherTalk used multicast traffic instead of broadcast. Have you tried
configuring the wired 'eth0' in either allmulti or promiscuous mode ?

Your wireless interface is passing all multicast traffic up the chain,
where your wired one is filtering out anything not specifically
intended for that host, so an 'ifconfig eth0 allmulti' would ensure
they're configured the same way.

Also, how is the IIgs being bridged? with a dedicated device or
LocalTalk bridging on a Mac ? It'd be good to isolate that bridge as a
problem mode or not, if that's possible with your equipment
