> I would guess your OS is starting dhcpcd on all interfaces unless instructed

It's just running dhcpcd on the bond interfaces:

root@bubba:~# ps | grep dhcp
 9144 root       6224 S   grep dhcp
13902 root       4976 S   /sbin/dhcpcd -b -d -h TS-2RVED8 -t 15 bond0
13975 root       4976 S   /sbin/dhcpcd -b -d -h TS-2RVED8 -G -C
resolv.conf -t 15 bond1

However, as you can see the slave interfaces are getting configured by
the instance running on the bond interface, which I don't want.  They
are given the same IP address as the bond interface.

root@bubba:~# ip address show

I was able to overcome this by using the -Z, --denyinterfaces option,
i.e.  -Z eth? when starting an instance of dhcpcd for a bond
interface.

Haven't tried consolidating to one instance of dhcpcd and use of the
dhcpcd.conf file yet.

Thanks for the help.
