I tried this with Philip's config, but I still can't reproduce this, I'm
afraid. I launch a VM with two network cards, like this:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -snapshot -drive file=/srv/vm
/adt-vivid-amd64-cloud.img,if=virtio -net nic,model=virtio -net user
-net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=10:10:10:10:10:10

This is a standard cloud image, thus eth0 comes pre-configured:

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg 
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I added Philip's config:

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/br.cfg 
#iface eth1 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.5
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    bridge_ports eth1
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_maxwait 0
    bridge_fd 0

NOTE: I tested this with and without the "iface eth1 inet manual"
stanza, it works in both cases. Philip's config refers to "bridge_ports
eth1" and there's no apparent ifupdown config for eth1. I don't know
about Timo's config, as this is apparently not the complete interfaces
file.

I also tried with a single network card and bridge, by removing
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg and having only

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/br.cfg 
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
    bridge_ports eth0

This now uses br0 as the "primary" connection, gets DHCP and
connectivity, etc.

So I'm afraid I really need some precise information about:

  * How many network cards do you have, and which is connected to what
  * Your complete /etc/network/interfaces{,.d/*} configuration

Or perhaps you are able to reproduce this in a VM yourself?
