However, we are setting up networking _before_ that first boot. So
there's no guarantee that they will be created in the same order when we
reboot.

Ahh, now I see. I didn't really understand that was how the persistent
scripts worked. That is a problem. I haven't looked at the persistent
network scripts, but it seems that the only way to handle this is to
provide commands to check the interface names after reboot and suggest
that the user check and/or edit their configuration files after
reboot.
But maybe Matthew will find something better.
There's no real way to get around this without setting up the network
after rebooting. Of course, it doesn't matter if you're using dhcp, but
that's not covered in the base LFS book.
Even then, you might have dhcp settings particular to an interface.
