I have not played with PBB capable real switch, but my understanding
is that any tagged packets are OK as far as it is a valid frame and
switches just does not forward unsupported frames.

802.1Q spec illustrates a provider bridge "service", and a set of
properties that a PBB capable switch is expected to have, and
outline of the operations with those equipments.
There're four types of interface defined in clause 25.2,
Port based, S-tagged, I-tagged and Transparent.
B-DA,B-SA,I-TAG,EtherType,Data frame on an I-tagged trunk
interface would be the shortest case (see Figure 25-6).

Agreed.
