dhclient starts on all interfaces referred to in dhclient.conf regardless of command-line parameters

Just to be clear, the way I think it should work is this:
* If you specify no interfaces in the config file or on the
command line, you get all interfaces on which DHCP makes sense
(generally speaking, all broadcast interfaces).
* If you specify interfaces in the config, and no interfaces on
the command line, you get the interfaces you specified in the
config, and no others.
* If you specify one or more interfaces on the command line, you
get only those interfaces, regardless of what it says in the
config file.
I consider it a bug that it doesn't currently work this way. However,
as I say, David is the authority here, not me.
