it appears that the suggested edit to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-bridge-
network-interface.rules fixed the problem i was seeing (don't have the
vlan-related file on the system). thank you! the interfaces.fail and
interfaces.nospc files both now work as expected, as does our standard
interfaces configuration (the attached files were simplified versions of
this).
the whitespace/indentation question isn't a big deal, but it is a source
of confusion. without your fix, the only version of the file that i
could get to work was the interfaces.utf8 (comment #4). but it isn't
strictly related to indentation: both interfaces.fail (using ascii
whitespace indentation) and interfaces.nospc (no indentation) failed.
for whatever reason, the apparent indentation using the non-printing
characters in interfaces.utf8 worked.
thanks again...

Title:
bond entries in /etc/network/interfaces fail without indent (when
adding a bond the bridge fails to acquire a dhcp address)
Status in “bridge-utils” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
we're trying to migrate our network configuration from lucid to
precise. in 10.04 we tied eth0+eth1 together into bond0, then set br0
up on top of that and assigned an address via dhcp. in 12.04 this
only works if br0 is configured with a static ip address. it fails
when trying to use dhcp. to simplify testing i've removed eth1 from
the configuration (sanity checked against
http://www.stgraber.org/2012/01/04/networking-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ ):
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
bond-slaves none
bond-mode 802.3ad
bond-miimon 100
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports bond0
bridge_stp off
the above results in a system w/o network connectivity. the dhcp
server reports requests from an unexpected mac addr (different each
boot). udevd logs "timeout 'bridge-network-interface'". poking
around a little before the timeout shows the following 2 groups of
processes:
|-ifup,1361 --allow auto eth0
| `-sh,1363 -c run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
| `-run-parts,1364 /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
| `-ifenslave,1392 /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave
| `-sleep,2380 0.1
| |-udevd,599 --daemon
| | `-bridge-network-,1429 /lib/udev/bridge-network-interface
| | `-ifup,1457 --allow auto br0
| | `-sh,1540 -c dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.br0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.br0.leases -1 br0
| | `-dhclient3,1541 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.br0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.br0.leases -1 br0
the ifenslave appears to be looping over that `sleep` (testing for
/run/network/ifenslave.bond0) until it is killed and the dhclient is
making its request w/the unexpected mac addr (also reported in `ip
link show br0`). interestingly br0's mac addr matches that of eth0
(as expected) once bridge-network-interface has timed out and been
killed.
a workaround appears to be adding the line:
pre-up /sbin/ifup --allow auto bond0
to the "auto br0" stanza.
