Hi Saku,
I wanted to follow-up with the results of further testing in the lab.

I did a packet capture on one of the core links and it clearly shows
that above isn't true.
When setting VC Type 4 (VLAN mode) between ASR9k w/ Typhoon LC and MX80
the tag is stripped (rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric) and then it is
pushed again, so the packet is traversing the core with tag 3101.
Also I tested this configuration:
>> ----A----
>> interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0/19.100 l2transport
>> encapsulation dot1q 100
>>

>> ----B----
>> interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0/19.200 l2transport
>> encapsulation dot1q 200
>> rewrite ingress tag translate 1-to-1 dot1q 100 symmetric

And it seems to be working, although I understand your point.
Thanks for your input, you helped me a lot.
