As requested, I attach the file
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eth0. Its contents are also
listed below:

[ethernet]
mac-address=70:5A:B6:3E:C1:8A
mac-address-blacklist=

[connection]
id=eth0
uuid=cb3d5786-f947-44b8-92f7-8471fc94c568
type=ethernet
permissions=user:fitzcarraldo:;
secondaries=

[ipv6]
method=ignore
dns-search=

[ipv4]
method=auto
dns-search=
may-fail=false

My current situation is as follows, and no invalid second eth0
connection is created:

IPv6 is enabled in aliases.conf
IPv6 is disabled in avahi-daemon.conf
[ipv6] method=ignore
[ipv4] method=auto
[ipv4] may-fail=false

If I make the situation as follows, no invalid second eth0 connection is
created either (which is not surprising given that IPv6 is disabled
system-wide):

IPv6 is disabled in aliases.conf
IPv6 is enabled in avahi-daemon.conf
[ipv6] method=ignore
[ipv4] method=auto
[ipv4] may-fail=true

When the situation is as follows an invalid second eth0 connection is
usually (i.e. more often than not) created:

IPv6 is enabled in aliases.conf
IPv6 is enabled in avahi-daemon.conf
[ipv6] method=ignore
[ipv4] method=auto
[ipv4] may-fail=true
