This isn't a failure of allow-hotplug but a perceived defect in the
/etc/init.d/networking script, which only takes account of auto.

Not a problem the OP experienced. :)

You have the advantage on me but I'm unpersuaded. The initial post was a
classic dhcp couldn't get an address description. Now if he had said he
was using static addressing (which just may be on the desktop machines
he mentioned) I'd be stumped.
Maybe Mitchell Laks could boot with allow-hotplug and with auto 20/30
times and report his observations. And another 20/30 times without
either. Recording relevant boot messages of course and seeing what dmesg
has to say about the state of eth0.
