The problem with the broadcom chip appears to be that the firmware is
not present at the first boot of a Debian system, so only the master
device is detected and added to z25_persistent-net.rules. This seems
somehow to block correct name assignment for the "real" (usable) device
(later, when the firmware has been installed).

The bugzilla links suggest that you can simply delete or rename the
persistent-net.rules file and reboot. With the firmware present udev
obviously creates the rules for the two interfaces at once and
correctly.

I had this problem; I was also told to reboot, but I believe
that simply commenting out the rule(s) in persistent-net.rules and then
doing 'udevtrigger' is sufficient to generate a correct rewrite of the
rules.
