The "_rename" suffix on interface names is an indication of udev rules trying to give two different interfaces the same name. This is a common problem with vlans, since they share most attributes with their master interface. It's why udev configurations (including debian's) include a DRIVERS=="?*" match on generated rules - that will match a physical interface, but not vlan interfaces bound to it. You probably have a rule that's missing this.
