Question, separate from your problem: Why do you bond the VLANed
interfaces instead of the raw eth0/1 and then VLAN the bond? Is there a
special reason you do it that way?

I'd expect a configuration like this:

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
  bond_mode active-backup
  bond_miimon 100 
  bond_updelay 1000
  slaves eth0 eth1

auto bond0.508
iface bond0.508 inet static
  address 1.2.3.4
  netmask 255.255.255.0

Grüße,
Sven.
