Did some more testing now:
                /bin/ls -la /dev/net/tun > /root/boot
                /sbin/ifconfig >> /root/boot
                /bin/chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun
                /bin/ls -la /dev/net/tun >> /root/boot
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \
                        --exec $DAEMON -- $libvirtd_opts


On reboot, the permissions:
crw-rw---- 1 root uml-net 10, 200 Sep 27 12:48 /dev/net/tun

Afterwards it lists all the tap devices correctly.
They are up.

Then I chmod /dev/net/tun:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root uml-net 10, 200 Sep 27 12:48 /dev/net/tun


And what do I see, the guests started without problems :)
