When I implemented this wifi rename, I checked the udev code and found
that it checked all rules file for something that might claim the
persistent name being generated, and if so, it would not use that name
for persistent rules and instead moved to 'eth1' - and I tested this
thoroughly (this was back in Fedora 11). Perhaps this behaviour has
changed, I'll try your reproduction steps.
