Hi,
first of all I beg your pardon - while I'm just the one cleaning old bugs - it is bad that you had to wait so long.

Now lets get to your case...

This is a mix of systemd and ifup based network ocnfiguration, and in
Artful a lot of this was still in flight.

In Bionic there is a simplified frontend to networkd (or networkmanager) [1] netplan.
I wanted to check your case with this new way to do it.

I have 4 devices, using one as "wan" and 3 for the bridge in netplan looks like:
network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        wan:
            dhcp4: true
            match:
                macaddress: 52:54:00:75:f5:3e
            set-name: wan
        lan1:
            match:
                macaddress: 52:54:00:84:a1:87
            set-name: lan1
        lan2:
            match:
                macaddress: 52:54:00:f3:4f:cc
            set-name: lan2
        lan3:
            match:
                macaddress: 52:54:00:ff:11:1a
            set-name: lan3
    bridges:
        br0:
            addresses: [ 10.0.0.1/24 ]
            interfaces:
                - lan1
                - lan2
                - lan3



That will create link files like yours for renaming:
$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-wan.link 
[Match]
MACAddress=52:54:00:75:f5:3e
[Link]
Name=wan
WakeOnLan=off


But also for network configuration:
$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-wan.network 
[Match]
MACAddress=52:54:00:75:f5:3e
Name=wan
[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
[DHCP]
UseMTU=true
RouteMetric=100

Especially also the bridge:
$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-br0.network 
[Match]
Name=br0
[Network]
Address=10.0.0.1/24
$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-br0.netdev 
[NetDev]
Name=br0
Kind=bridge

And the device association to the bridge:
$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-lan2.network 
[Match]
MACAddress=52:54:00:f3:4f:cc
Name=lan2
[Network]
Bridge=br0
LinkLocalAddressing=no


That looks good to me now:
$ networkctl list
IDX LINK             TYPE               OPERATIONAL SETUP     
  1 lo               loopback           carrier     unmanaged 
  6 br0              ether              routable    configured
  7 lan3             ether              carrier     configured
  8 lan1             ether              carrier     configured
  9 wan              ether              routable    configured
 10 lan2             ether              carrier     configured

$ networkctl status

       Gateway: 192.168.122.1 on wan
           DNS: 192.168.122.1

$ brctl show

                                                        lan2
                                                        lan3

Please see [1] and man netplan for more, or feel free to write the same
in networkd rules as you already started on your own.

But mixing the systems to control devices is not really recommended as
you'd run in issues just as the one you have reported.

Therefore I'd consider this a broken config more than a bug in Ubuntu
and would mark the bug incomplete for now until further discussion/info
was provided.

Title:
  Bridge gets created while the network interfaces are still being
  renamed

Status in bridge-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a problem with bridge configuration for the interfaces on my
  system that I also happen to rename explicitly.

  Specifically, I have following network configuration:

  # WAN interface
  auto wan
  iface wan inet dhcp

  # LAN interfaces
  iface wlan inet manual
  iface lan1 inet manual
  iface lan2 inet manual
  iface lan3 inet manual

  # LAN bridge
  auto lan
  iface lan inet static
          address 10.0.0.1
          netmask 255.255.255.0
          bridge_ports wlan lan1 lan2 lan3

  I use systemd .link files for renaming each of the 5 bridged
  interfaces, e.g.

  cat /etc/systemd/network/10-lan1.link
  [Match]
  MACAddress=90:e2:ba:ae:e8:21

  [Link]
  Name=lan1

  (BTW, I previously used udev rules to handle the renaming, before I
  migrated to systemd .link files hoping for improvement)

  Upon system boot, I see following messages:

  And after the boot process completes, the bridge is not configured as requested:
  # brctl show
  bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
  lan             8000.7085c2026d54       no              lan2
                                                          lan3
                                                          wlan
  rename7         8000.90e2baaee821       no              lan1

  Note that while the "rename7" name of the bridge seems to be constant,
  the interface bridged is not.
