I have always thought this to be a bug. Maybe your views reinforce it even more. How ever I have not filed a bug report because my issue only stems to cheap routers and not a proper setup.
I have had the same problems with dhcp client. Although I am not using in the way you are. You see the same problems under a regular eth0 using dhcp. My problems stem from these cheap routers that ISPs provide mostly.
Q) do service network restart fix the issue? A) yes, always, and yes, temporarily. This makes me think the system is basically right and this may be a bug.
And yes I've seen the temp fix also that gives.
Q) why don't you use static IPs, if they are static in DHCP? A) I want to be able to reconfigure the networks without editing tons of files on tons of machines. I currently have tens of these VMs deployed and the number is likely to increase alot in the future. The deployment and configuration is automatic using a central configuration.
That was my solution to use static IPs. on the Linux Machines only. You do not see this under Windows.
Attached a txt with the tcpdump of the above log extraction.
That dump is not long enough to tell anything funny going on.
