Below is the output on Debian lenny with iproute  20080725-2.

malzmuehle[~]> ip link show help
Usage: ip link set DEVICE { up | down |
                             arp { on | off } |
                             dynamic { on | off } |
                             multicast { on | off } |
                             allmulticast { on | off } |
                             promisc { on | off } |
                             trailers { on | off } |

                             mtu MTU }
                             netns PID }
       ip link show [ DEVICE ]
malzmuehle[~]> ip link show up
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 20:cf:11:44:31:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


So, even the help does not show that up is supported it works.
