Okay, you just spotted the bug. Sorry that we did not spot it in the config.

you configuration is wrong in a subtile place, you cannot add an interface 
twice. At least not in 0.5.6-r7.

If you want to use different IP4Broadcasts (and not just 255.255.255.255), you 
have to use two different interface sections.

0.5.6-r8 (which will be available in a few days I think) will help with this 
problem by introducing a sections called "InterfaceDefaults" where you can put 
the common interface options.

Remove all interface blocks in your config and try this one:

Interface "wan" "vlan3"
{
  Ip4Broadcast      255.255.255.255
  HelloInterval     2.0
  HelloValidityTime 6.0
  TcInterval        5.0
  TcValidityTime    15.0
  MidInterval       5.0
  MidValidityTime   15.0
  HnaInterval       5.0
  HnaValidityTime   15.0
}
