If you change the native VLAN on the cisco, it will still only send to the IEEE STP MAC on VLAN 1. If you were using PVST+ on the Cisco changing the native vlan will tell it to send PVST+ BPDUs to the Cisco MAC untagged on that VLAN.

Aren't Cisco switches supposed to send BPDUs also to IEEE STP MAC address

Generally, no. Vlan 1 is treated specially.

on 802.1Q trunks? Or is there any special config needed for this?

Vlan number 1 will interop, so if you do this:

int Gi1/1
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk native vlan 1
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,3

...then vlan 1 will form an 802.1w adjacency with the neighbour, vlans 2
and 3 will just pass straight through it.

Is that ultimately limited to vlan #1, or could it be done with the native
vlan on trunk (e.g. vlan #1520) as well?

We're removing vlan #1 from all trunks by principle for obvious reasons...

   Thanks & kind regards,
