 One is the internal port on which Tor listens, the other is the one
 advertised to the outside world. The router forwards one to the other -
 this works fine for normal relays, is there any reason for it not to
 work for a Bridge?

 That would stop Tor handling local connections from applications. Is
 running a Bridge incompatible with local clent traffic? I couldn't find
 anything to that effect in the docs.

I did get a 'Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the
outside' message eventually - there was just a 12 minute wait between
'Bootstrapped 100%' and 'Guessed our IP address as', the reachability
test followed immediately after.
