I try to avoid them in customer-facing applications, too.  And in 
intra-network situations, I don't know why you'd be LAGging 1Gbps links 
anymore.

But yeah, MX204 and similar LCs on the chassis platforms have some 
bizarre port usage/speed limitations.  Juniper has a little web page to 
validate your port configurations, but it still seems easy to hit 
gotchas like this.
