It now works much better for me:

(the ifup may otherwise figure that the veth0 hardware is NOT the same as the original ${netdev} and not use the same
   config -- this happens on SUSE. Charles Coffing tracked this
   one down.)

Does this updated network-bridge, like my patch posted to this list on 10/14 under the title "[PATCH] network-bridge script support for multiple external interfaces", allow support for multiple loopback interfaces?

I have a situation where my Xen host has physical interfaces on multiple networks and gives Xen instances access to one or the other based on where they're supposed to be; this implies modifying all the hardcoded references to veth0 or vif0.0.
