IMHO, the difference between TC and OvS and BPF is that in the TC case
the dissector is invoked on the wrong position in the packet (IP vs L2
header). We can regard reading garbage from there as a bug.
I am not sure that this is the case in OvS or BPF. E.g. in the BPF
case there may some script expecting the skb to point to an IP header
after second vlan push. My change will break it.

Done in v2.
Thanks,
