Hmm, I think your STP/EtherChannel might be misconfigured. EtherChannel should be treated as a single logical link. With an STP running on top of it your both links should be forwarding. So in case one of the physical links fails, there is no need to re-calculate anything with STP. Are you sure they are configured for etherchannel and not just trunking ?
