Confirmed using the following setup: qemu/libvirt vm running Maverick 10.10 i386 install; added two additional network adapters and then bonded eth1 and eth2 using a fairly standard bonding configuration (ifenslave as described above). ipv4 addressing works fine - however get the same error message as the original reporter when ntp tries to bond to the ipv6 link address on bond0:
