The udev upstream maintainer says "don't do this":

  I don't think that can ever work in the default ethX namespace. The
  userspace logic that requests these interfaces should be able to
  supply a custom name along with the request for the new device.
  Putting things like this by default under the ethX namespace can not
  work with any current logic.

Further discussions about this should happen on the linux-hotplug
mailing list.
