i know that some devices tend to merge channeling and trunking, trunking beeing 802.1q which is vlan tags on a link. Channeling (or bonding) only agregate links together. This should be easy to check if you sniff traffic on your bond0 interface and see if frames are normal or tagged.
my 2 euro-cents tips :)
