Sorry, I believe the mailer or my mail was delayed a bit and I didn't 
see the previous response.

This is bad behavior, your config looks good. I suspect it could be this 
bug:
CSCsd11234    ports fail to bundle when nonegotiate is configured

What version of software are you running?

Release note mentions this (found on 4500, but applicable to desktop 
switch code too):
If a physical interface is configured in shutdown mode, then configured 
with the same configuration including "switchport nonegotiate," when it 
is later enabled by the no shutdown command, it can not join the bundle 
and the following error message displays:

%EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Gi3/16 is not compatible with Po1and will be 
suspended (trunk mode of Gi3/16 is dynamic, Po1 is trunk)


The following configuration sequence will prevent interface g3/16 from 
joining the bundle:

int g3/16
shut
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
channel-group 1 mode on


int po1
switchport trunk enacp dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate

int g3/16
  no shut


Workaround: Do NOT configure the channel-port with the same 
configuration while all physical ports are still in shutdown mode. 
Instead, issue the unshutdown command on the physical ports to carry 
over the first unshutdown to the channel port. (CSCsd11234)
