I'm pretty certain I've done it with linux in the past. Does "raw packet" literally mean "packet from the NIC buffer", or does it mean "packet from the OS buffer after the OS has done the VLAN stuff" ?
Without any knowledge of how it's actually done, it would seem logical to me for the VLAN (and link aggregation/bonding) code to handle that aspect before squirting the packet into the packet buffer ready to go into the rest of the network stack. So tagged packet in -> tag stripped by VLAN code -> packet put into buffer as though it had been received that way (untagged) on that interface.
