[c-nsp] ME3600X rewrite push problem

I'm having some problems with qinq and "rewrite ingress tag push dot1q" 
on the ME3600X, running version 15.3(2)S. The problem seems to be that 
the range match of vlans and push of a tag works until the device is 
reloaded. Has anyone else seen this happen?

ME3600X config

This config works until reload.
--------------------------
interface GigabitEthernet0/11
  description ACCESS_SWITCH
  switchport trunk allowed vlan none
  switchport mode trunk
  mtu 2000
  service instance 1000 ethernet
   encapsulation dot1q 101-122
   rewrite ingress tag push dot1q 2011 symmetric
   xconnect 1.1.1.2 2211100 encapsulation mpls
!

Workaround
----------
ME3600X-01(config)#int gi0/11
ME3600X-01(config-if)# service instance 1000 ethernet
ME3600X-01(config-if-srv)#encapsulation dot1q 666
ME3600X-01(config-if-srv)#encapsulation dot1q 101-122

Another workaround could be to do 1 service instance per vlan match, 
since that does not seem to trigger the problem...

Trigger error at when running
-----------------------------
ME3600X-01(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/11
ME3600X-01(config-if)# service instance 1000 ethernet
ME3600X-01(config-if-srv)#rewrite ingress tag push dot1q 2011

# This will not recover the problem
ME3600X-01(config-if-srv)#  rewrite ingress tag push dot1q 2011 symmetric

The only way to recover seems to be to change from a range match to a 
single vlan (ie 666) and then back to a range (101-122).


The xconnect is then connected to a ASR9K bridge-domain which is then 
looped back to an interface configured with EFP/subints for each 
customer (outer+inner tag). AFAIK this is the only way since you cannot 
run IPSG and DHCP snooping on pw's in BD's on the ASR9K yet... Or if 
there is a better way to do this, please let me know :-)

Tnx!
