Basically what 'native' does is cause any frame coming in on that vlan for 
that trunk to pass untagged.  So no, you can't have both at the same time. 
Outgoing frames can be tagged or untagged for the native vlan (though 
tagging them defeats the purpose), but incoming frames on the native vlan 
will always be untagged.  (incoming in this instance is from the point of 
view of the attached device)

So it seems there is no way for your windows OS on those box(es) to be both 
setup for IPMI and be able to talk on the IPMI VLAN.
