Another issue is that
bridge fdb add MAC dev DEV master static
seems to add the entry with the SELF flag set, which I don't think is
what we would want it to do or?

I don't see such thing (hacked iproute2 to print the flags before cmd):
$ bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev vnet110 master static
flags 0x4

0x4 = NTF_MASTER only

I also get 0x4 from iproute2, but I still get SELF entries when I look
with:
bridge fdb show dev DEV

after the above add:
$ bridge fdb show dev vnet110 | grep 00:11
00:11:22:33:44:55 master virbr0 static

Also the replace command is not really supported properly as it is. I
have made a fix for that which looks something like this:

The argument for always sending notifications to the driver in the case
of replace is that a replace command will refresh the entries timeout if
the entry is the same. Any thoughts on this?

I don't think so. It always updates its "used" timer, not its "updated" timer which is the one
for expire. A replace that doesn't actually change anything on the entry shouldn't generate
a notification.

Okay, so then there is missing checks on flags as the issue arose from
replacing locked entries with dynamic entries. I will do another fix
based on flags as modified needs to be true for the driver to get notified.
