Perhaps its related to your kernel version?

With RHEL5 as the host OS I have not seen any problems with bonding and
dhcp in either the host or the guest. The stack is:

   ------        ------
  | tapX |  ... | tapY |
   ------        ------
        \        /
        ---------
       |   br0   |
        ---------
            |
         -------
        | bond0 |
         -------
        /       \
     ------    ------
    | eth0 |  | eth1 |
     ------    ------

With the following bonding options:

BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup primary=eth0 miimon=100"
