Conversations with the BU confirm that this is expected behaviour, but I don't believe I've explicitly tested it with *only* an inbound "counting" service policy.

If you have to provide the two subnets on the same Layer-2 domain then I 
would think about using two sub-interfaces and use a Layer-2 switch to 
bring them back together again for presentation from/to to your ISP.

I know you said that you had to use the secondary IP feature on the same 
sub-interface, but you stopped short of why you had that restriction.
