looks like i missed a few things on implementing BOOTIF support properly.
somehow i managed to get the order of the mac address backwards. i know i
tested it many times, but somehow the patch i submitted got it backwards:
diff --git a/scripts/functions b/scripts/functions
index 7b68255..f854495 100644

done
unset IFS
as mentioned by Christoph Bussenius in #535008, it does appear that setting
BOOTIF from the value in /proc/cmdline is needed. at the time i wrote the
patch, i'm not sure it was, but it definitely is now:

with these patchese applied, it seems to work. at least for the moment.
