allow-hotplug means, the device is not brought up by the sysv init script /etc/init.d/networking, but by udev. Specifically /lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules resp. /lib/udev/net.agent. So you might start adding some debugging output there to find out what is going wrong on your system. To debug the udev rules file, you can add SUBSYSTEM=="net", RUN+="logger.agent" to 80-drivers.rules. After a reboot you can find the log file at /dev/hotplug.log -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
