I think this is simply a limitation of the traceroute command, it seems
only to know about physical interfaces. Many of the network tools
(route for example) seem to have this limitation.
That being said, it's pretty easy to work around, simply use traceroute
-s and specify the source IP address instead of the interface, then you
can trace via your "virtual" interface.
Later,
