The thing about DHCP is that the protocol is confined to an ethernet
broadcast domain, and a TUN/TAP connection to the host is a separate
broadcast domain from the LAN. It's a private ethernet with two hosts
on it.
DHCP will work if one of the following is true:
The DHCP server is the UML host and dhcpd is listening on the
TAP device
a DHCP forwarder, like dhcrelay, is running on the host
UML is bridged to the host's eth
The bridging option puts the UML on the LAN on a par with any physical
system on the ethernet.
