layer 2 protocol tunneling with dvlan-tunnel (QinQ) on 6200 switch

When using dvlan-tunnelling (QinQ) on a 6224F switch it passes some layer 2 control frames (cisco CDP for example) but not STP frames.  It doesn't matter if STP is enabled or disabled (with STP flooding) on the 6200.  Am I missing something in the configuration, is this a bug or simply not possible on the 6200 platform?

In the lab I have a MPLS core, Dell switches at the edge and cisco switches for customer switches.  The cisco switches have an IP address in their default VLAN (VLAN1) and I can ping between them across the VPLS core.  If I move the cisco switches up to the PE devices, STP works between them.  In this case it appears the 6200's are eating the STP frames, and possibly other layer 2 control frames.  I'm expecting complete transparency when in tunnel mode.
