Short answer:

Because the MAC address is different from the one formerly recorded for
eth0. It should be possible to create an empty file

/etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules

to stop this.

NB: This means you get unpredictable interface names if more than one
driver needs to be loaded dynamically. That's not even particularly
difficult to avoid but one must first overcome the mindset that some
graduate student with a laptop must be a demigod because
$important_company is paying him to put his ill-conceived theories into
practice.
