Most switches (not specifically familiar with the ME series) will compensate for dot1q tags by transparently allowing packets of MTU+dot1q tag size. This is not usually true for mpls (again not directly familiar with the ME series) that being said the mpls header is exactly 4 bytes which seems

I don't understand the drawing, but it looks like you have two routers separated by a firewall and you are trying to send traffic to the DMZ router even though the routes are advertised by the Indy-rtr. This seems to not make sense, but I think it's just because I don't understand your diagram.
