hal-0.4.7 in FC3 and FC Rawhide just listens to the netlink
socket for link changes and gets the initial state from the
carrier file in sysfs. It works great for me and I've not seen
any bugs on this (apart from drivers that don't support it).

If you can reproduce this, the right thing is to file a bug in
the Red Hat Bugzilla (under component hal) rather than using
this mailing list.
