note it complains that the circuit type of the bvi is level1-2.

What is the output from "debug isis adj packets"?

i'm afraid not.  MTU is 1500 on every interface.

Nice try though!

ok, not the exact situation but similar.

We built a circuit that bridges ATM with a LAN extension service.

This required a BVI on the core router.  The far end was just another
Ethernet router for all intents and purposes.

Now, I haven't yet touched ISIS or clns - but when we first tried to get
OSPF working across the link it would not form an adjacency.  Show ip ospf
neigh revealed EXSTART/DR on the remote router.

On the core router a bridge-group is defined and the ATM sub-interfaced
placed into it.

This immediately set the mtu for the BVI to 4470 bytes - of course we didn't
know that at the time!

On the remote router we observed "debug ip ospf adj" and one of the errors
we saw was words to the effect: "Nbr x.x.x.x has larger interface MTU"

Checked everything, saw the BVI at 4470 and changed it with the command "mtu
1500".

Pop! OSPF formed its adjacency and everything works fine.

Perhaps this is something to look into for your situation.
