OK, I should have looked more closely at the init scripts before. It
turns out that lo is brought up by S08loopback in /etc/rcS.d before udev
is started. So testing whether lo is up doesn't do much good.

I have come up with a temporary workaround though. I modified
/etc/init.d/networking to touch a file (/var/run/network/started) when
networking is started (or restarted), and remove it when networking is
stopped. I also changed my udev ifup script to test for this file to
determine whether to bring up the interface. It's a horrible hack, and I
hope someone can come up with a better solution soon, but for now it
works at least.
