True. I am not sure where this recommendation comes from, but this indeed contradicts RFC 2613, which recommends that a 'propVirtual' ifEntry is created for a smonDataSource of type VLAN. 

I would suggest that this recommendation be relaxed, by replacing:

OLD:

 This document recommends that, within an entity, VLANs which are
   instantiated as an entry in dot1qVlanCurrentTable by either
   management configuration through dot1qVlanStaticTable or by dynamic
   means (e.g.  through GVRP), are NOT also represented by an entry in
   ifTable.

with

NEW:

 This document does not make any assumption that within an entity, VLANs which are
   instantiated as an entry in dot1qVlanCurrentTable by either
   management configuration through dot1qVlanStaticTable or by dynamic
   means (e.g.  through GVRP), are also represented by an entry in
   ifTable.
