Figured out a work-around: ensure the matching state of the rename rule matches the end-state of the rename rule so the networkd state machine stops flopping between the two rules. Linked the MP with the required change; will tag ubuntu-release to see if it's not too late for a re- spin.

Specifically, in the final mantic server images (but not the desktop images), under armhf or arm64, on the Raspberry Pi 3B+ (but not any other supported board, including the 3B), the interface renames several times during boot. By the end, the interface is left in the enxMACMACMAC state and the netplan configuration fails to apply. Will attach kern.log from an affected platform, and another from an unaffected platform.
