Probably the best thing to do is not to use this script and setup your host networking directly, per http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/HostConfiguration/Networking . As you've observed the machinations which the network-bridge script goes through to try and tear down and rebuild the network config is fraught with difficulties and nasty corner cases, that is why we upstream have deprecated the network-* scripts in favour of recommending the use of the distro provided network configuration tools.
