Do you have a simple recipe to reproduce this? Ideally it'd be a
script that anyone can execute in a freshly booted system that
exhibits the problem.

Well, the first server I saw this on only had a base install of debian
stable on it, then I replaced the kernel, configured the vlan
interface in /etc/network/interfaces typed 'reboot' and it failed -
and it seems to fail reliably on reboot every time.
