No reply from this list, but I got in touch with people, who reported 
using LAG earlier in the list.
The answer is to configure Cisco switches to use etherchannel (i.e. no 
LACP or PAGP). With switch ports that LAG interfaces connect to 
configured into etherchannel everything started to work correctly.
Thanks to Tom Webster.
