Okay, the udev workaround isn't too painful.
Would be great

udev should be your friend to do a BUS/ID based rename.
True, but so far I have to force link addrs, force promisc mode, and
now add a udev work-around ;-|
Strange thing is, when the interfaces get initial
Can you try to set the MAC address by hand with the completely patched
kernel (i.e. including the mac-address-change patch) ?
Yup. Works fine. The randomly changing interface order is proving to
be a challenge!
Given the last report in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6032,
it should
A tcpdump trace 1) before promiscuous mode 2) after promiscuous mode 3)
after link failure (i.e. failover does not work) would be welcome.
Okay, after fixing STP forwarding delays on the switch, bonding
failover now works, as long as member links are forced to promisc
mode.
Still Have a problem

See attached. Captures performed on bond0. Let me know if you prefer
captures against

Can you revert patch #0012 and see if it changes this part of the problem ?
Reverted. mac is still wrong - I assume the eprom got corrupted somehow.

typo, "ip link set dev eth2 promisc on" of course
From looking at the source code for r8169, but it appears that
the r8169 driver only reads the device MAC address at probe time, and
doesn't propogate changes to the MAC
