[c-nsp] Giants and input errors but no MTU mismatch 7600-to-4948

Would double tagging (qnq) sitting atop g3/3 (service instances or svi's)
cause this?  Or mpls-enabled svi's sitting on top of g3/3 perhaps ?
(brainstorming as I'm not sure what to make of it)

I have an interface on a 4948 that is reporting increasing giants and input
errors. The MTU is the default 1500 and so is the interface on the other
side of the link. This is a dot1q trunk, if that is relevant.

7600 Side:

GigabitEthernet3/3 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 7081.058f.471e (bia
7081.058f.471e)

     reliability 255/255, txload 6/255, rxload 6/255
  Input queue: 0/2000/15/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops:

  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  30 second input rate 25560000 bits/sec, 3911 packets/sec

     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 15 overrun, 0 ignored
     0 watchdog, 0 multicast, 0 pause input
     0 input packets with dribble condition detected

4948 Side:

GigabitEthernet1/46 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet Port, address is e05f.b919.522d (bia
e05f.b919.522d)
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,

  Last input 00:00:00, output never, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)

     0 input packets with dribble condition detected

Any idea how I could be getting giants inbound to the 4948 when the
interface on the 7600 is set to 1500? I could see it if both sides were not
set to dot1q, but they are:

Gi3/3               on           802.1q         trunking      1

Gi1/46             on           802.1q         trunking      1

What in the world is going on here?
