Did you specify the driver at every nodes eth element?
If you don't specify the @driver at every clusternode in the cluster.conf udev 
is started for detecting the nic. If you want to have a static configuration 
use the @driver in every eth-tag you are using. Even if you use bridges.

My config looks as follows and it works very much predictable:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<cluster config_version='35' name='clu_generix' type='gfs'>
  <clusternodes>
    <clusternode votes='1' nodeid='2' name='generix2.local'>
      <com_info>
        <eth mac='...' name='eth1' bridge="clusterbr0" driver="bridge"/>
