According to the TDG, bridgehead can appear inside variablelist. However, as 
far as I can see, it is only allowed _after_ the info element, but not between 
varlistentrys. Find here the content model: 
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/variablelist.html

This would be valid:

 <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0">
  <info><title>my chapter</title></info>
  <para>
  <variablelist>
    <bridgehead> testing my header </bridgehead>
    <varlistentry>
      <term>myterm</term>
      <listitem><para>definitions</para></listitem>
    </varlistentry>    
    <varlistentry>
      <term>my second term</term>
      <listitem><para> more definitions</para></listitem>
    </varlistentry>
   </variablelist>
  </para>
 </chapter>

However, in that case, bridgehead should be better replaced with title.


Hope that helps. :)
