I don't believe this is what happens.

"rewrite ingress pop 1 symmetric" <-- the symmetric keyword means that
it pushes on egress and pops on ingress.

Without "rewrite *" it does neither afaik; therefore, if you have the
same configuration end-to-end, it works, because the tag is preserved
as-is and no vlan tags are pushed or popped anyware (just labels, of
course).

That's said I don't like the configuration without the rewrite keyword
at all, because it is confusing and redundant to have to include the
vlan tag, when all you need to transport is a single vlan. And it is
easier to get configuration mismatches when you do it this way.
