For me the soution was to create a script that removes the "bond0"
when NetworkManager is stopped, I have it integrated into the
NetworkManager.service via a drop-in scriptlet into the dir
"/etc/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d/"

here is my scriptlet:
/etc/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d/remove-bond0-at-stop

[code]
# remove "bond0" interface at stop, it will be re-created at start
[Service]
ExecStopPost=/usr/bin/bash /path/to/shellscript
[/code]

sadly the shell script has been lost since, with the move to
a machine with 10GbE interfaces.
