Comment 22 for bug 329106

And here's one after booting from the rewritten rule, device on eth0 and working, testing /class/net/eth0.
(I also have the opposite tests, of eth1 when the device is eth0 and vice versa, and of eth2 when the device is eth1 -- let me know if you want to see those).

Would it be any help to disable the udev and networking scripts in /etc/init.d to try to get a situation closer to what's actually happening on boot? Or to run the udev tests from within one of those scripts?
