That, I am guessing, is not really a bug.  Probably something wrote,
and why I do not know, at some moment a rule which requires such
rename into /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.  Just to be
sure of that name grep for udev/write_net_rules in files from
/etc/udev/rules.d/.  You can edit found file or throw it away (just
rename it for a start not to have a suffix '.rules') and it should
be regenerated on the next boot.  Only make sure that something else
does not bring that interface up as eth1.

A generation of that rule in question may be a bug, or maybe not;
depending on why it was created in the first place.  A general idea
is not to allow udev to rename your network interfaces on every
boot.  Especially important if you have many interfaces with
different drivers.
