The patch is OK (as a workaround). Note that the problem is only
related to 'unnumbered' ptp links, so the simplest workaround
is just to assign (at least /30) regular IP prefix to that link.
I am not strongly opposed to add such kind of broken-quagga-compat
option, but not sure if it is worth if it is only related to
such corner cases.

I guess there is not.
