With this configuration, RHEL guests could access the network normally but Windows guests (XP, 7, 2008 R2) could not. After deactivating the bond0 interface and bridging one of the NICs directly to the ovirtmgmt interface, both RHEL and Windows guests have fully functioning networks.

My intention was to have the mode as balance-alb however the bonding driver in F19 seems to completely ignore any BONDING_OPTS settings in the ifcfg-bond0 file. Attempts to change the bonding mode directly via /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode repeatedly failed due to 'the bond having slaves', even after the bond had been taken down via ifconfig. I was not able to remove the bond0 definition either, even after removing the ifcfg-bond0 file and the modprobe.d alias.

Have you checked the RHEV documentation and searched Microsoft Technet 
for Nic Teaming?

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831648.aspx - seems MS 
Server 2012 R2 supports a type 4 bond.

An excellent doc about bonding is:
