I am working on a multi-tenant environment. Smaller clients have dedicated VLAN's. Larger clients have their own VRF's with multiple VLAN's. One tenant wants to enable multicast for their VRF. I am unsure if the VRF will recognize a packet with a multicast address as belonging to a specific VRF, and prevent the multicast traffic from crossing over into other clients. Obviously we need to be 100% sure to avoid that kind of crossover.

Multicast is IP traffic...
Just like any other IP traffic (unicast, broadcast, ...) it will be isolated in the VRF unless you start playing with import/export.
In order for multicast to work in an MPLS cloud you'll need msdp to propagate the multicast trees through all neighbors which provide routing for that specific vrf.
