Well for everyone woh asked, I tried the following on an EX8208 under
10.1R1, and it didn't work:

interfaces {
    ae0 {
        vlan-tagging;
        mtu 9216;
        ...
        unit 69 {
            vlan-id 69;
            family ccc;
        }
    }
    ae2 {
        vlan-tagging;
        mtu 9216;
        ...
        unit 69 {
            vlan-id 69;
            family ccc;
        }
    }
}

protocols {
    connections {
        interface-switch test {
            interface ae0.69;
            interface ae2.69;
        }
    }
}

Which of course errors because MPLS is still required to use CCC (who
knows why that has never been fixed :P):

ras at router# commit check 
re1: 
[edit protocols connections]
  'interface-switch test'
    CCC: Connection test error MPLS must be enabled to use CCC
error: configuration check-out failed

So turn on something in protocol MPLS to shut it up, which of course
turns on the log-filling no license nag (even though I do have an
advanced feature license, and the documentation says MPLS is included in
the AFL, go figure):

Mar 23 18:27:42.298  re1.router alarmd[734]: %DAEMON-4: Alarm cleared: 
License color=YELLOW, class=CHASSIS, reason=Multi Protocol Label 
Switching usage requires a license

And now the ccc looks like it should be up:

Connection/Circuit                Type        St      Time last up     # Up trans
test                              if-sw       Up      Mar 23 18:18:55

  ae0.69                            intf  Up
  ae2.69                            intf  Up
                                                                   # Paths
  Time             Event                Interface/Label            Rcv Xmt
  Mar 23 18:18:56  CCC status update  
  Mar 23 18:18:55  Interface up         ae2.69                  
  Mar 23 18:18:55  Interface up         ae0.69                  
  Mar 23 18:18:55  CCC status update  
  Mar 23 18:18:55  Interface up         ae2.69                  
  Mar 23 18:18:55  Interface up         ae0.69                  

But no packets are passed through it, and the interface counters for
both sides show 0 packets received. Of course the correct way to
configure this on every other platform would be vlan-ccc rather than
just ccc, but on EX there is no vlan-ccc option and the ccc config
commits without error.
