You really shouldn't have to do this.  BT 21CN supports baby-jumbos to give you the extra 8 bytes of PPPoE on top of a 1500-byte IP packet.

Raising MTU on the physical Ethernet interface facing the BT modem definitely works, I can get 1500-byte DF-set IP packets to and from the Internet; you should be able to do the same on the VDSL interface.
