I 'assumed' the phone would reboot with the new VLAN setting and get a
new IP address from the DHCP server on the phone VLAN - there would be
two DHCP servers.

I can't think of any other way to make it work with DHCP.  If it isn't
designed to work that way, why would they put the option in the DHCP
section.
