Oh Hardy the file /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/vlan contains a hook for setting the hardware address of the interface:

# This is not vlan specific, and should actually go somewhere else.
if [ -n "$IF_HW_MAC_ADDRESS" ]; then
    ip link set $IFACE address $IF_HW_MAC_ADDRESS
fi

But unforunately this doesn't work because $IF_HW_MAC_ADDRESS is not set anywhere.
