This bug made a lots of pain for me, but I've found workaround.
As cloudbuilders told option "netcfg/choose_interface=auto" still not working, 
and unfortunately BOOTIF=01-${mac-with-hyphens} is not working too.

There is undocumented feature in netcfg package. Option
"netcfg/choose_interface" accepts raw MAC-address of nic to set up, so I
passed to kernel cmdline option "netcfg/choose_interface=${netX/mac}"
(${netX/mac} is variable in iPXE) and all works fine.

I don't know is it possible in PXELINUX, but it is easy in iPXE.
