Rado,

nyc1(config)#int te1/2.1254
nyc1(config-subif)#mtu ?
   <9216-9216>  MTU size in bytes

nyc1(config-subif)#mtu 9216 ?
   <cr>

nyc1(config-subif)#mtu 9216
% Sub-interface TenGigabitEthernet1/2.1254 does not support user 
settable mtu

Afaik, all sub-interfaces assume the MTU of the primary physical port, 
and that this cannot be changed.
