One possibility I can think of that something claims "eth0" name for
an interface with a different MAC that you have and a rename is done
to avoid a conflict.

What that can be and how you got into that state I have no idea.
See, for example, 'man ifrename' how this can be done.  You happen
to have something in /etc/iftab?  Or maybe somewhere else?
