Ok, my misunderstanding. "They" was referred to the unsupported keys and not to the whole flows containing them. Then the answer is yes, they (the keys) are dropped. For what concerns MPLS, it's not directly supported explicitely in the DB but you are still able to match expected labels (say, intercept the inner label at a PE impementing VRFs) through filters in Pre-Tagging table and then get the corresponding ID in the DB.
