This suggest to me that "ip link" used to show the real
PROMISC state then.
Unfortunately, "ip link" doesn't show "true" state of a card right
now. The
situation with ip is same (ip can {un}set promisc mode and it uses IFF_PROMISC
flag).

I say no. Why? I agree with Alexey's "ifconfig should show that state which it
changes".
Hmm, it make a sense, but then neither ip nor ifconfig show "true" state of a
card.
