I tried to find out which line causes this error and it is line 12
in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave:

ip link add dev "$IFACE" type bond

It has nothing to do with the ifenslave package:

# modprobe -rv bonding
rmmod bonding
# ip link add dev bond0 type bond
RTNETLINK answers: File exists

And ifenslave_2.9 loads the bonding module in "add_master()":

        # If the bonding module is not yet loaded, load it.
        if [ ! -r /sys/class/net/bonding_masters ]; then
                modprobe -q bonding
        fi

HTH,

R.
