I question the correctness of putting an interface in any form of DOWN state even though there are no addresses assigned. There exists no requirement that an interface has addresses, even if it doesn't, it may still be UP and have active routes pointing to it. I therefore would ask you to consider fixing this in another way, by simply not requiring any IP addresses on the interface in order for it to be considered active.
+1. Either this or reliably detect subsequent numbering of the interfaces. -- Alex Bligh
