     Place a sniffer between the vMX and the QFX, you'll see:

         the ARP go from vMX to QFX and get an answer;

         the ARP go from QFX to the vMX and you wont get an answer, 
99.9999% of the time;

         ( It worked once for me and only for a while, but at this point 
I pretty much feel like I'm getting trolled by J.  That whole 
QFX+L2TP+VCF really didn't help )

     PS: We pretty much gave up on that whole <beep> none of the 
whitepaper from J work in a lab setting since they forgot to list the 
hardware and the Junos version they used.
