I managed build up the courage, and time, to have a crack at this today, 
figuring it could take while.
However it took me less than an hour to convert my mesh of l2vpns to a VPLS 
instance.


David, your from memory example was almost exactly perfect.
JUNOS gives you 2 options for the VPLS encapsulation (ethernet and 
ethernet-vpls, as you suggested), however neither is valid!
Specifying no encapsulation works fine though.

[edit routing-instances VPLS_vr protocols vpls encapsulation-type]
  'encapsulation-type ethernet'
    Encapsulation type not valid for vpls
error: configuration check-out failed


Thanks everyone.



# show routing-instances VPLS_vr
instance-type vpls;
interface lt-0/0/0.5501;
route-distinguisher 500:5501;
vrf-target target:500:500;
protocols {
    vpls {
        site-range 15;
        no-tunnel-services;
        site rmdcjs1 {
            site-identifier 1;
            interface lt-0/0/0.5501;
        }
    }
}

# show interfaces lt-0/0/0
unit 501 {
    encapsulation ethernet;
    peer-unit 5501;
    family inet {
        address 10.250.250.1/27;
    }
}
unit 5501 {
    encapsulation ethernet-vpls;
    peer-unit 501;
}
