My personal opinion is 'no', i.e., I consider an rbridge campus to act
as a single, conventional bridge.

That's with the caveat that I can't access the 802 specs on the subject ;-(

If that bridge is part of an 802.1ah bridge device, then so be it, but
there may be more to an 802.1ah bridge than we're thinking for an
rbridge campus, at least AFAICT from what I can infer the specs say on
the matter.
