Just checking: did you do "apk add iproute2" ?
It seems the "ip" version that comes by default in busybox may not
support all options and might be ignoring your arguments.
I was able to reproduce your error on busybox, and it went away after
I installed iproute2

Alternatively the wiki suggests installing the "bonding" packages and
configuring through the interfaces file which I guess does it
differently.

Cheers,
