Simply disabling learning will do exactly what the OP wants.

Not exactly. As far as I can see from a quick test, setting the bridge
ageing time to zero (brctl setageingtime <brname> 0) seems to disable
learning, but the bridge still knows its own MAC addresses, so traffic
received on a port destined to one of these MAC address won't be
forwarded to other ports.

True but you could do thomething like this:

ebtables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth3 -p 0x0800 -j dnat --to-destination
00:01:12:12:12:12 --dnat-target ACCEPT
