Hm, right. I see this as well. Though it seems to be quite minimal and I see a
similar number on one of the enslaved interfaces. Not adding up completely.

 Just as a note that the recommendation for the bond-slaves option is
 none. This is because the bond interface should get the slaves added
 by the slave interface. Probably requiring auto lines for the
 slaves, too (the README and examples coming with the package should
 reflect this by now). The interface did not come up before because
 there was not network configuration set for the bond interface.
 
 Yeah. I read through the README and made the change. However, the
 issue of bond0 not being UP and the dropped packets remain even after
 this change.
 
In my setup this seems to work. But I am only running in failover mode. Could be
that the problem is related to the mode. From the logs it looks like at least
the ip address is set and the interface is deemed up for bond0. But in the
bonding status the mii status is down for bond0 but up for both of the slaves...
Seems like being halfway through setup. I wonder whether ifdown -a followed by a
ifup -a always end up in the stuck case or come up...

   when I enable bonding.

You might want to add an updelay in there too if your interfaces take a 
little while to synchronise with the switch (easy for the switch to block the 
port until spanning tree has done its thing unless you've specify portfast on 
the switch port).  Then bounce the network and see what happens.  When it's all 
running properly, you should see something like this:
