You can't be free from tune all your net for vlan mtu:
 - all switches involved must be at least verifyed not to drop long frames
   or right route vlans if it can work with tag based vlans
 - all interfaces in selected vlan must support the same common mtu

I know now, that xl interface can't pass 1504 frames
and most 1G interfaces can
 don't know about another 100M interfaces
