You aren't supposed to directly use (like assign an IP address to)
interfaces which are bridge ports, like bond0 in your case.  You have
to assign the address to the bridge interface, exactly as you did.

Notice that in my case bond0 was not a port of any bridge.  The
"physical" bridge ports were the VLAN interfaces over bond0.

I never did it myself, but it really should just work.
