If addresses are equivalent that is a desirable effect. My goal however was to distinguish between GUA and ULA relying on the RFC for selection to avoid headaches.

Yes, been there, done that; but I would consider that something no longer needed in this enlightened age: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding#Descriptions_of_bonding_modes Especially Mode 4.
