That error message comes from iproute2, so it looks like you hit this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D366905 In a nutshell we are trying to convert ifconfig syntax to iproute2 syntax, but we do not do it correctly in this case. The consensus on the dev list seems to be that it is fine to stop doing that, so at some point in the future, probably a release coming up soon, the syntax of config_* lines will have to match the tool you are using to configure the interfaces.
