I think this PR addresses part of the problem: dhclient doesn't exit when the link goes down.
But even if it exits, it leaves the IP address that it has set, which is wrong. This IP address survives through the next DHCP setup process and ends up being the second IP address.
Should be very easy to on exit remove any IP address that was set during dhclient process lifetime.
