I was wondering about this, too.
Michael Biebl bug reproduction test did not involve a reboot
('udevadm trigger --action=add' regenerates, sources, or
re-reads---I don't know the correct term--the rule in
'/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules').
So with a rule in that file he unloaded and reloaded his network module
(and all was good, the interface adopting the custom name defined in
the file). Then he ran
udevadm trigger --action=add
reproducing the bug (interface renamed to a default name though
a custom name was set in '70-persistent-net.rules').
