FWIW, the whole virtual network device paradigm is considered legacy/obsolete. 
The "correct" way to do this now is just assigning multiple addresses to a 
single eth0 device using the 'ip addr' command. However, a side effect of this 
is that deprecated legacy tools like ifconfig (which use old APIs) will only 
show the first address assigned, etc. Not sure if this is related to the 
problem or not, but might be worth noting.
