By "just wrote", do you mean you wrote them tonight?

This is right for now, thanks!

Yes, we prefer "-q" over ">/dev/null", so you did the right thing here.
We don't currently have a convention to use LANG=C before every single
invocation of grep/sed, although it makes sense to me. So I am OK with
that, and we might arrive at a better approach later.
What are you trying to achieve by using egrep in
LANG=C egrep -v '(:)'
Isn't it the same as
LANG=C fgrep -v ':'
In fact, can't you embed that check into the following grep? Replace
this one:
LANG=C egrep -q '(eth|bond)[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?'
with:
LANG=C egrep -q '(eth|bond)[0-9]+\.[0-9]{1,4}($|[^:])'
(if I got your intent right).

These are patches against files on an installed system. It's fine for
the discussion, but when you're done revising the changes and actually
contribute them, please do so in the form of a patch ready for commit.
That is, it should be something like initscripts-5.00-owl-vlan.diff and
a patch to owl-startup.spec. For a one-time contribution this does not
matter much, but I hope that you'll continue contributing, hence I
propose that you make it simple for us to include your contributions.
Also, please see "(Re-)generating patch files." in Owl/doc/CONVENTIONS.
Besides changes to the scripts, maybe you need to add documentation?
Thank you!
Alexander
