I'm not sure this is right. We have pfc3b boxes with loads of 
IPv6-enabled SVIs and we're only using 16 ingress / 4 egress labels.

Do you have a different ACL per SVI? Can you show the config for one of 
the SVIs?

I'm not sure how we suddenly get onto multicast? What makes you think 
this is related?
