Hmm, this problem seems very strange to me.  I'm not sure that there
is much more I can do without reproducing the problem and it sounds
like I won't be able to do that on my hardware.

If you're able to, the best thing to do would be insert some debugging
statements along the transmit path to find out exactly where the
additional vlan tag is being inserted.  Although it only happens with
a single driver, it must be occurring in software because the tag
shows up in tcpdump on the transmit side.
