I switched
allow-hotplug eth0
to
auto eth0
and rebooted. It then gets a dhcp lease without trouble.
So it would appear to be an issue with hotplug. One things that looks
different is that both eth0 and eth1 are "up" but unconfigured:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr aa:00:04:00:0a:04
inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Interrupt:18
(eth0 is configured here after changing the config to force it to use
dhcp). Since the interface is already "up", maybe that's the reason
the events aren't generated. So I guess the question now is, what's
bringing up the interface before ifupdown does? Could it be udev? Or
something else in early boot or the initramfs?
