Sorry for the top post, but as a crazy thought here, why not throw out an RA, and if answered, go into transparent bridge mode? Let the sophisticated users who want routed behavior override it manually.
Customer premise gear has a 'front side' and a 'back side', and it is already well ingrained behaviour for 'back-to-back port chaining' to create a single large bridged network in the home. What is the customer's anticipated result from front-to-back chaining?
What you really want to avoid is to have customer A's home network accidentally bridged to customer B's. L3 isolation of L2 domains helps. - Alain.
