I'll second Les' statement that this sounds like a bug.

An interface should only be automatically named em1 if it's an onboard NIC
in a (just Dell?) system.

And an interface should only be detected as pXpY if it's a PCI NIC.
THOUGH I've seen it already where an onboard NIC in a Lenovo desktop was
detected as p5p1.

A while back I commented about differences I saw with installs of CentOS
6.3 (upgraded to the latest) and a fresh CentOS 6.4 (at the time).  I had
p1pY on the 6.3, but come time for the fresh install of 6.4 I had all ethX
on identical hardware.
