It would be informative to see the netstat -rn data from the point that
both interfaces are working correctly and then after you take one of the
interfaces down.

I suspect you will have a single default gateway listed, the last column
on the right should list which interface that default gateway will use.

If the default gateway is on the interface you took down then I would
expect that route to go away.  However if it is on the other interface
that remains up then I would expect that route to stay in the router
table.  If it does go away then you should file a bug report because it
sounds like the decision to remove routes is based on the IP addressing
not the interface itself that went down.
