I downloaded the source for ifupdown-0.6.4-4.4 and did not 
see any such thing.  So I guess that bridge-utils modifies 
and extends ifup/ifdown.

Well, the main source of the problem is that none of the bridging
stuff is supported by BusyBox's ifup/ifdown implementation.  It
wasn't part of the ifupdown package so it was not ported...

If you want this stuff supported, you will need to patch up
networking/ifupdown.c to support this additional functionality,
