I just stumbled over that when trying to remove "next hop self" after 1.3 has 
recursive lookup.

What's the problem with using iBGP routes for recursive lookups (when using 
iBGP as IGP)? The message even says that the route is resolvable.

Setup (simplified, RR removed):

[Router A] <-- VLAN 1 --> [Router B] <-- VLAN 2 --> [Router C] <-- VLAN 3

A and B have an iBGP session, B announces the net on VLAN 2 via itself and the 
net on VLAN 3 via Router C.
