DOT1q tunnels with etherchannel

Hey group,
I have a quick query with regards to why 2 separate vlans are required on
the provider side of dot1q tunnels when using ether channel. If anyone has a
document on this, that would be great. See Below for diagram.

SW3 --- SW4
   | |

SW1 --- SW2

Switch 3 and for are aggregating 2 ports and the tunnel runs between edge
on sw1 and sw2. The problem is that each interface connected to the customer
switches needs a separate access vlan. Why is this? What underlying theme is
there? I tried to debug the l2protocol-tunnel but with no success.

Thanks,
