I see the same behaviour on a 4200.  LLDP is always sent untagged:

comlinx at cesw01-all> show configuration interfaces ge-0/0/2  
description "Link to BELL";
unit 0 {
    family ethernet-switching;
}

### no VLAN-ID configured on default:

comlinx at cesw01-all> show vlans default  
Name           Tag     Interfaces
default       
                       ae10.0, ge-0/0/0.0*, ge-0/0/2.0*, ge-0/0/3.0, ge-0/0/11.0
{master:0}
