"VLAN 0" is what you use to pass 802.1p QoS/priority tagging information.

>From a reading of the docs on flexible-ethernet-services (which I've never 
used, since I don't use IQ/Quad Price PICs :P), I don't see how this would 
directly affect what you are trying to do:

Flexible Ethernet services (flexible-ethernet-services)—Gigabit Ethernet 
IQ interfaces and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with SFPs can use flexible 
Ethernet services encapsulation. Aggregated Ethernet bundles cannot use 
this encapsulation type. You use this encapsulation type when you want to 
configure multiple per-unit Ethernet encapsulations. This encapsulation 
type allows you to configure any combination of route, TCC, CCC, and VPLS 
encapsulations on a single physical port. If you configure flexible 
Ethernet services encapsulation on the physical interface, VLAN IDs from 1 
through 511 are no longer reserved for normal VLANs

Do you really need to mix tagged and un-tagged, or are you just trying to 
use a native vlan (like 1, a usual default :P) that isn't tagged? If this 
is the case, you can probably turn on native vlan tagging on whatever your 
other side is.
