I ended up calling Dell support ... excellent experts there.
Actually, the IP based VLAN works very close to what I want to achieve. The missing fact in the user guide is what mode the port needs to be in. Ports using switch port mode and bound to a VLAN just didn't work ... likely because the IP-based vlan was different from the port binding. Dell support suggested using trunk mode, however my answer eventually came from using general mode; all traffic untagged, PVID set to my usual LAN vlan ID and the port accepting traffic from the new IP-based vlan. In this way I'm able to have a physical host DHCP on the corporate lan and a VM on that host bind to a different subnet which is then isolated to the new IP-based vln.
