I'd go further than that - the behaviour I've seen to date, and would
expect, is that in the first case even with congestion there is no
policer.  Rather the LLQ gets a proportionate share of any 'free'
bandwidth above assigned minimum, just like any of the other CBWFQ queues.

I've definitely pushed more than 'priority bandwidth' worth of priority
traffic through a congested link before now.

Seconded, I'd like to know how this is *supposed* to work.
