In my case, I set the controller to the bridge, directly. Running brctl show

xapi0        0000.101f7432e779    no        vif18.0
                             eth2
                             eth3
                             bond0
                             vif21.0
                             vif25.0

So I set the controller to the xapi0 and not of the vif/fake-bridges, if 
that's what you're doing.

And then, you control the vifs "policies" from the main bridge, using 
OpenFlow with in-port.

Try run  "ovs-ofctl dump-flows bridge" instead of dpctl, use ofctl. That 
should show something.
