Actually, according to Dan Henderson, N1ND - ARRL Regulatory Information Manager - Field Day Manager you are only allowed one QSO per FM satellite in the ARRL rules.
I asked for and got an "official" clarification stating if you work L/U on AO-51 then V/U would be a no-no, or vise versa. The quote was "You can have only one QSO per satellite ..... Doesn't matter how many transponders, etc."

Does anyone know what mode the AO-51 bird will be set for on Field Day this year?

Thanks Drew. I didn't make on L band last field day but will be set up again this year and hope to make it.
