This is not going to work. The router needs the vlan tag to associate
the appropriate (sub)interface with the packet, so the vlan tag has to
be unique on the interface (some platforms like the 6500 even ask for a
unique tag per system). VRF association comes later and is based on the
vrf configured on the (sub)interface.
So if you want to consolidate multiple vlan/.1q connections, you will
need to change vlan IDs in order to make them unique.
