One of the first rules is to never use VLAN 1. Ever Never. MT does snooping on it (as do many other brands) and it does nothing but make issues.
As to why the other is not working, Change the VLAN first. IIRC I had the same issue with a quick setup using RB750s with a RB250 between them. Then do packet sniffing on the port to see if the tagged ID packets are getting to the other side. If they are check MTU and etc settings.
