Marcin,

I believe the BVI feature would allow you to put two or more VLANs  
into a bridge group in one context and provide a L3 interface for  
routing.  I suspect that having one VLAN appear in two or more  
contexts is probably not going to work.

IS-IS is supported for intercontext lan interfaces.
