A side comment, meant to discourage continuing to bridge rather than route.
There's no reason that the AP's cannot have different IP addresses, but a common ESSID.  Roaming between them would be like roaming among mesh subnets. Assuming you are securing your APs' air interfaces using encryption over the air, you are already re-authenticating as you move from AP to AP.  So using routing rather than bridging is a good idea for all the reasons that routing rather than bridging is better for mesh.
