I’ve seen optical transport gear be non-transparent in a few situations when using OTU2 vs OTU2e, but they turned out to be a bug.
I've seen this as well, including in an SDH transport, where OSPF packets were being eaten (something Multicast-related).
If a L2 platform is being used to front-end a router, you could be seeing slow protocols like CDP/LLDP/LACP being consumed by that switch. If you configure LLDP does it pass end-to-end?
That's what I was thinking at first when I read the OP's post. If the circuit is being transported over MPLS or being fronted by an Ethernet switch, Level(3) would have to tunnel Layer 2 protocols in order to support your LACP frames across the pw. Mark.
