Having a CBQ within a CBQ is useless and can indeed cause weird behaviour. You will get two qdiscs 'stacked' so to speak, both trying to shape traffic. At times, the inner qdisc will not want to give up data, which doesn't make life easier on the outer one. CBQ can do shaping out of its own accord - it doesn't need a second shaper to do that for it. For the same reasone, people should not embed TBFs in CBQ!
