Ok, I've done some more testing and it seems, unfortunately, that I
can't trigger the problem reliably. I guess I was just "lucky" with my
first few reboots.
It now seems that uptime and/or amount of data that has flowed over
the vlan interface impacts the probability of hitting the problem.
Back when I was chasing the neighbor table leak, I wrote a patch to
catch ref-count leaks for net devices. It was against 2.6.13 or so,
but if nothing else is helping, it might be worth dusting off.
I put what I believe was the last iteration of that patch here:
