[nsp] Cisco + 802.1q + Xylan... Anyone?

I know there was just a nice long 802.1Q discussion, but... (Does
cisco-nsp have an archive anywhere?)

Has anyone seen this actually work? I've got (what I think is) a simple,
straightforward config

[7513]---1---[Xylan omnistack]---2---[Solaris box]

I'm using a dot1q subinterface on the 7513. Great. It sends packets over
link 1 with a lovely 802.1q tag. I love it.

The Solaris box sends packets in its merry, VLAN-unaware, tagless way.
Wonderful.

Now all I want is for the Xylan switch to strip the 802.1q tag from
packets it sends over link 2, and add an appropriate tag to packets it
sends over link 1. Isn't this what trunking (on link 1) is all about?
Has anyone actually gotten a Xylan to do this?
