Ahh.   That's interesting, but not nearly so interesting (or useful) as 
the Cisco document that it cites: 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_white_paper09186a008013159f.shtml#wp39054

Basically the hopping only works if the trunk has the same native vlan 
as the attacker.  This, the cisco article goes on to say, is considered 
to be a misconfiguration.   You can read it yourself, but there are two 
ways of avoiding this.

It's still not clear to me how you would get a reply from the attack -- 
you'd need something on the receiving end that can also do the double 
tagging (which is not 802.1ad, it's a second 802.1a tag, to be clear).
