Thank you for the reply, but I don't think that this is the issue.
Otherwise bonding failover wouldn't work at all. When enslaved in order
eth1 eth0, bonding and link detection work properly - with eth0 set as
primary, I pull the eth0 cable, it switches to eth1; plug eth0 back in, it
switches back to it; pull the eth1 cable, it knows there's no fallback.
So the link detection seems fine.
