Host management network drops when VMs start running.

I'm experiencing this strange issue on one of my boxes.

My network is configured as follows:
auto eno1 iface eno1 inet manual auto eno2 iface eno2 inet manual auto bond0 iface bond0 inet manual bond-slaves eno1 eno2 bond-miimon 100 bond-mode 802.3ad bond-xmit-hash-policy layer2+3 auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.0.131/25 gateway 192.168.0.129 bridge-ports bond0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0

I have VMs in the 192.168.0.130/25 attached to vmbr0.
When the VMs start, they would cause the host management network to lose connection.
The VMs themselves would also become unreachable.

If I split the host management from the VM bridge like so, this work as expected.
auto eno1 iface eno1 inet manual address 192.168.0.130/25 gateway 192.168.0.129 auto eno2 iface eno2 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static bridge-ports eno2 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0
