Some features are incompatible with egress mode. It's possible that the 
IOS upgrade introduced more checks and/or forced ingress mode as 
problems were found

For example, MVPN needs ingress mode, and IIRC QoS and SPAN have 
problems with egress mode.

Are you sure? You checked this with the "sh platform" command?

What happens if you "no" the command and let it go back to auto-detect mode?
