We have VSS deployed and it's management interface is on a mgmt-vrf. So far everything that needs a source interface seems to work, although I've not actually configured syslog yet, TACACS is now vrf aware. You have to define a specific AAA server group. Eg:

tacacs-server host 1.1.1.1 key myacskey
tacacs-server directed-broadcast
ip tacacs source-interface VlanXYZ

Then:

aaa group server tacacs+ ACS-GROUP-NAME
  server 1.1.1.1
  ip vrf forwarding mgmt-vrf
!

aaa authentication login default group ACS-GROUP-NAME local-case

I will note that you have to define each server with the tacacs-server command before you add it to the group otherwise it throws an error.

Yes, a "management" VRF will do exactly what you want :-)

Perhaps things have improved, but at one time for the 6500
platform certain functions could only be performed in the
"native"(? is that the right word) context, and you needed
to place all the rest of your traffic/interfaces in a VRF
leaving the "native" context for management (sort of the
reverse of your proposal, instead have a "Internet" VRF
for everything except for management).

Have the latest IOS versions eliminated those challenges
on the 6500?
