It could be that you encountered a bug in the auto-reconfigure scripts or maybe even deeper (reminds me of the nvidia adapters that had a different MAC on each reboot). Since your bug is quite unique (or at least no reports here on d-u) I doubt it's good advice to tell someone having troubles with networking to edit udev rules, especially since the OP mentioned the interface names were ok and consistent.
