This is correct, MTUs must never be mixed on a subnet (technically you
could with Linux since you can create per target MTUs, but this would not
be smart or clean).
We run a pair of GigE interfaces. The first is trunked with all the
sub-ints being 1500 byte MTUs (service interface, managemnet access). The
second interface is not trunked, runs a 9000byte MTU and is plumbed into a
dedicated Jumbo frame network.
