You are right. This was a configuration mistake.

What we are trying to do is to gain insights about traffic from the PE router 
towards our core network by applying NetFlow on the aggregate interface towards 
the core. Ideally, we want to use the MPLS tags to be able to identify and 
aggregate flow statistics coming from the access side. Then using some external 
helpers, the MPLS tags can be given meanings rather than just numbers.

The other alternative would be to apply NetFlow on all the interfaces from the 
access side, which is really a nightmare on all levels.
