Public bug reported:

Bonding module v3.7.0 (kernel 2.6.38.x)  has been modified to send IGMP joins 
not only in round-robin mode, as was in 2.6.36, see: 
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c?v=2.6.36#L1183

but also in primary-backup. 
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c?v=2.6.38#L1193

Unfortunately, check for resend_igmp was missed until 3.0:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c?v=3.0#L1189

Current (2.6.38.7) code leads to continuous igmp flood, regardless of
resend_igmp value (as documentation says: " A value of 0 prevents the
IGMP membership report from being issued in response to the failover
event.")

version_signature:  Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-server 2.6.38.7
