Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

The format of /etc/network/interfaces for bonding interfaces appears to
have changed in order to avoid a race condition. I think you might be
falling on the wrong side of the race. Please see
/usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian.gz, or online at:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
branches/ubuntu/precise/ifenslave-2.6/precise/view/head:/debian/README.Debian
(line 39).

I think the real bug here is that there is no automatic upgrade path
regarding this change, or documentation in a place that users can spot
before upgrading.

Unfortunately I think it's too risky to try and add an automatic upgrade
path this close to release as it would not receive sufficient testing.
The workaround is to fix up /etc/network/interfaces to the latest syntax
by hand.
