If I use a completely vanilla freshly installed VM (on VirtualBox)...  
LXDE, but otherwise standard options:

Even a simple "ifdown <interface>" with no configuration changes gives 
inconsistent results.  Three different results so far:

1) Sometimes it SEEMS like it releases the DHCP address, and completes 
successfully.  ifconfig however shows the interface still there, with an 
IP that can be pinged.

2) Again, seems to complete successfully BUT an ifconfig shows the 
interface without any IP.

3) The ifdown completes successfully, and gets the expected results.

I've waited to make sure I'm not being too quick for a process to 
complete or something.  I'm simply getting inconsistent results with 
identical VM snapshots, and I'm at a loss.

Oh, I forgot...  I think I mentioned earlier in the thread I got some 
kind of (uninformative) systemd message, but that was just one run out 
of perhaps 50 or so.
