I was beginning to suspect the same.

What would be a good place for the bug report?  Some kernel teams seem to prefer
Bugzilla and others their mailing lists, and I have a very mixed track record
for getting any reaction at all from kernel bug reports (as in, about half my
reports never got any reply).

Unfortunately I only control one side of the BGP session here, and I don't have
any BGP experience so I wouldn't even know how to go about doing such experiments.

Kind regards,
Ralf
