Of the list you provided, what bits aren't currently covered by:
 - /usr/share/doc/ifenslave/README.Debian.gz
 - /usr/share/doc/ifenslave/examples/*
 - ifup/ifdown/interfaces manpage

Based on those, this seems to cover:
 1) ifup manpage says that ifupdown processes the interfaces in the order they 
are listed in /etc/network/interfaces. This obviously means that if there are 
dependencies between interfaces, you should make sure the ordering is correct
 2) allow-bondX is never mentioned in the Ubuntu documentation but auto always 
is
 3) It means there are no hardcoded list of slaves for that bond (slaves are 
assigned through bond-master in their own interface definitions as per the 
examples).
 5) See 1), you are supposed to first have all the physical devices, each with 
the right bond-master set, then the bond device itself with bond-slaves none. 
In this case, bringing up any of the physical devices will bring up the bond. 
If none of the physical devices exist by the time you bring up the bond, it'll 
wait for 5 minutes for a slave to appear on the system.
 6) See README.Debian.gz and the examples
