So there is no way to transport full-sized IP frames (or even EoMPLS) 
over MPLS on this platform?

We are not using MLS for IP either, due to its limitations regarding
access lists.

It definitely isn't, but for the given needs ("EoMPLS bridging of
a LAN segment that's migrating to a different location, and maximum
bandwidth of about 10-20 Mbit/s on that LAN segment") its performance
capabilities would easily do the job - and the RSMs are already there,
so it's lots easier to deploy than getting a new router on-site.
