Upgraded to Promox VE 3.0, static IPv4 address doesn't work anymore

I have a simple single-node Proxmox VE setup, and this node has a single Gigabit Ethernet adapter that is divided into various VLANs, and these VLANs serve as the bridge ports for an associated bridge interface. The bridge interface for my "main" VLAN, vmbr0, has a static IPv4 and IPv6 address assigned to it for management purposes.

Yesterday, I upgraded to Proxmox VE 3.0 using the 2.3 to 3.0 upgrade script, and that seemed to go well. However, vmbr0 no longer has an IPv4 address, even though one is statically configured in /etc/network/interfaces. To make things even more confusing, the static IPv6 address in that same configuration file is being applied just fine.

I'm not a Linux networking expert, but I can't see anything obviously wrong with my configuration, and the same configuration worked just fine in Proxmox VE 2.3.

Any ideas? :confused:
