Such a message is shown when there's no IP address on the bond interface. However, if there's one, it is displayed improperly: 

root@kamikaze:~# ip a s dev bond0
15: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether 00:0c:42:07:11:62 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

The result of SIOCGIFFLAGS on bond0 is 1443.
The result of SIOCGIFADDR is 00.00.01.02.
The result of SIOCGIFHWADDR is type 1  00:0c:42:07:11:62.

Not only is this output incorrect, but also reader-unfriendly. Probably, nobody ever cared for it to be different. I don't care as well. Maybe #180 instead?
