Ah ! yes, you are right :)

The current upstream implementation allowing sysfs and netns to coexist 
together has one restriction, the physical network devices can not be 
moved if sysfs is enabled in the kernel. This is why Chris can not move 
the physical network device with this version of the kernel.
This restriction will be set until the sysfs per namespace is fully 
supported.

This restriction does not exist with with the previous kernel version 
with the sysfs per namespace patchset.
