This may be intentional, because the usb0 interface continues to exist whether it's connected or not. udev generally concerns itself with devices which hotplug in and out of existence. In the case of g_ether, you can set the IP on it and it'll just keep it forever.
Also if you want to make an issue of this, it looks to me like you may want to contact the kernel team instead. The ethernet gadget module is present even in vanella linux kernels. Correct me if I'm wrong.
