Just like Cisco ...

Don't think so, how it was explained to me was that in earlier versions
of JunOS it did send a explicit NULL "0" label, as it couldn't handle
both MPLS and IPv4 on the same physical interface.
We have a feature request open to add the knob you want, we want to use
it in QoS setup's, where we carry the MPLS exp bit's to the very edge,
and queue based on them, and leave the IP TOS field untouched.
If you want it too, please push it via your account team ...
