You could try dhcpcd-7.0.1, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a dhcpcd issue.

Yay, you got a lease.

But something else deleted it right away.
dhcpcd spotted this and noted that something had "deleted" the leased IP 
address.
If dhcpcd deleted it, it would have used the word "deleting" instead.
As the address was lost, dhcpcd then expired the lease.

What is most curious is that it was deleted exactly when the ARP 
announcement finished.

And carrier was then lost at this point.
As a 3rd party had removed the address and dhcpcd had dropped the lease 
earlier, dhcpcd didn't take any action at carrier down.

So something else added it back again most likely and not dhcpcd.
What other software are you running?
