More information. Apparently, the system has gotten into a confused state:

"initctl list | grep network" shows:
network-interface (lo) start/running
network-interface (eth1) start/running
network-interface-security start/running
networking stop/waiting

"ifup eth1" prints:
Ignoring unknown inteface eth1=eth1

"grep eth1 /var/log/boot" shows:
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1

Again, this may be more of a cause than a symptom of the networking service refusing to start, and the error messages being really poor.
This is on 10.04 LTS x64 with a very basic text-mode install
