by the way, you have seen this, haven't you?

Use of VLAN groups (CR 137596)

Use of VLAN groups with BIG-IP VE requires proper configuration of the VMware vSwitch. To use the VLAN group feature, you must configure security policies on the vSwitch. The properties of the security policy that you need to configure are Promiscuous Mode and Forged Transmits. For any transparency mode, you must configure these properties to accept (rather than reject) the security policy exceptions on the vSwitch. For information about how to configure these options, see the VMware vCloud™ Director Configuration Guide.
