It's a virtual machine.
So, a bridge of the host.

I know it doesn't make much sense to set up bonding in a virtual 
machine, but I'm trying to determine what possible problems I might have 
in a production environment (and got stuck at the very beginning).

IPv4 bonding works fine in this setup.

Shouldn't this disable DAD? Or am I confusing something here?

net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_dad = 0
net.ipv6.conf.eth1.accept_dad = 0

It's a virtual machine, so the host shouldn't know or care much about 
802.3ad (I think!).
