This has been bugging the hell out of me for a week now.
When I first got the game I re-enabled the prev/next cam buttons.
I'm sure I got it to work, but only sometimes. Some others have reported it working intermittently too.

Finally just figured it out.
It depends on where the camera is when you first hit the > key.

Try this.
Re-enable the keys. Stand on the bridge.
Hit F2 FIRST, to go to external cam. Hit the prev/next unit buttons. Camera cycles properly. F2 then brings you back onto the bridge.

HOWEVER
If you are standing on the bridge and just hit the next unit button from there, F2 will not bring you back onto the bridge.

Seems the key is to always cycle to external cam first.
