I don't know if this helps with your problem, but as I understand it
[0], a wireless interface can't be bridged with others without the
coöperation of the access point. In the wireless case I think that you
would need all the guests’ interfaces and one from the host in a bridge
and then route the bridge traffic to the Internet. This probable means
you need to run a dhcpd for the VM network. Sorry, no network manager
tips, but maybe it would work if NM just didn’t tough the VM network.
