If I am wearing Hide Armor (+3), only a Bracers of Armor +4 or higher seems to apply its bonus, and even then it's only +1 above my existing AC. Bracers +5 only adds 2, +6 adds 3, etc. This is reproducible on multiple characters.

That's not a bug. The Bracers give an 'armor' bonus which of course does not stack with the armor bonus from actual armor - so only the item with the highest bonus will count.
