Well, that would cover the first failure mode I described, but we experience 
the second one.
I don't see any workaround, apart from removing the -1 from the dhclient 
options.

I'm sorry, but this means that a _part_ of my report might be invalid
(though we think we saw that issue), but the other part is valid, unless
you can provide instructions how to not experience this issue.

When an interface is set to use dhcp and is set to an online state,
dhclient shouldn't give up retrying to renew a lease, but it does.
