This seems to be missing a vlan= option at least for the second pair:

Qemu forwards this packet to everything inside of the same vlan, which
is 0 by default. Does it work with this?

   -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=fa:9e:0b:53:d2:7d,model=rtl8139 -net tap,vlan=1,script=/images/1/ifup-eth0,downscript=/images/1/ifdown-eth0
   -net nic,vlan=2,macaddr=fa:02:4e:86:ed:ce,model=e1000 -net tap,vlan=2,script=/images/1/ifup-eth1,downscript=/images/1/ifdown-eth1

Maybe /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is disabled?
