Absolutely. It would also have prevented the bug to begin with.
But in order to keep the changes minimal, I kept the rte_memcpy().

As Stanisław mentioned, this might as well be:

        if (valid_bitmap & (1 << VLAN_VALID))
-               rte_memcpy(&bull->vlan, &sc->old_bulletin.vlan, RTE_VLAN_HLEN);
+               bull->vlan = sc->old_bulletin.vlan;
