Actually, checking further the above is not true.  We're now seeing 
messages of the form "igb: eth1: igb_rcv_msg_from_vf: VF 1 attempted to 
override administratively set VLAN tag" when we try to set the vlan tag 
from within the guest.

We ran into this same problem letting the VMs set the VF MAC address for 
bonding failover, so I'll try tweaking the PF driver and see where we get.
