I suspect there's something in the subsystem trigger which does not
replay add events on devices (for some reason unknown).

A more focused path is:
udevadm trigger --verbose --action=add /sys/class/net/$iface

Which also fails to get .link files read.

I'm working writing steps for a recreate; but in the mean time I tested this
in a zesty container:

 root@z2:~# cat /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
# This file is generated from information provided by

              macaddress: '00:16:3e:67:2b:8f'
