[c-nsp] MPLS xconnect with a WS-C3850 switch?

I have an interesting one that I'm trying to figure out. I have TAC case
open, but they've been slow to respond to say the least. Wondering if
anyone else has ever run into this. I have a simple MPLS xconnect between
2 ASR-920 routers running EIGRP. When I insert the 3850 in between them,
the xconnect comes up, but doesn't actually pass data. The 3850 has MPLS
enabled and sees the routes, etc. but doesn't seem to actually be passing
the traffic.
Feed --- 920_1 ----- 3850 ------ 920_2 ----- destination
920_1# sh mpls l2transport vc
Local intf Local circuit Dest address VC ID Status
------------- -------------------------- --------------- ----------
----------
Te0/0/1 Ethernet:1 10.10.0.6 10 UP
If I pull the 3850 out of the mix and connect the ASR920 routers together,
the xconnect comes up and passes traffic as I would expect. All of the
routes look fine, the 2 ASRs can ping each other, etc. But when I look at
the traffic counters, I see both sides transmitting, but never receiving
packets. According to the docs, the 3850 does support MPLS, and I do have
(or at least should have) the appropriate license. It seems like I'm
missing something, but I can't seem to figure out what that is.
