When I implemented this wifi rename, I checked the udev code and found that it checked all rules file for something that might claim the persistent name being generated, and if so, it would not use that name for persistent rules and instead moved to 'eth1' - and I tested this thoroughly (this was back in Fedora 11). Perhaps this behaviour has changed, I'll try your reproduction steps.
