Don't worry :) I did not forget about this - just needed a bit time to
investigate...

Yeah, this look's like a problem. In __vlan_hwaccel_rx there is following line:
	skb->dev = vlan_group_get_device(grp, vlan_tci & VLAN_VID_MASK);
This rewrites the dev so latter on when netif_receive_skb is called the hook
will be not called (because dev->master will not be set).

Ok I will put the hook inside the skb_bond_should_drop() - it seems like a
correct solution...

Thanks for pointing this out.
