This is normal AIX behavior. When you place two adapters on the same subnet, AIX does not route traffic across the adapters based on the adapter from which the traffic originated. Outbound traffic is sent across the first available adapter on that subnet, in this case en0. But since you've removed the physical wire, there is no connectivity.
You really don't want your system set up this way anyway. You're trying up to IP addresses for no good reason. What you really want to do is etherchannel en0 and en1 into either a active/failover or aggregate etherchannel, which would become en2. You then place the single IP address on en2.
Be sure to work with your network people on this one, because they will have to do port grouping on the network switch so that the switch handles the two physical lines as one logincal connection.
