We are doing this quite a bit in production and it works great.

bond as you normally would:
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
BONDING_OPTS="mode=4 miimon=100"

one of these for each vlan (in this case 50):
VLAN=yes
VLAN_NAME_TYPE=VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
DEVICE=vlan50
PHYSDEV=bond0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br50

and finally the bridge device to expose to guests:
DEVICE=br50
TYPE=Bridge
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
GATEWAYDEV=none
