«lo:10»? That seems very suspect, as the "colon way" of adding multiple
addresses to interfaces was deprecated along with net-tools/ifconfig
about a decade ago.

Try using the real interface name instead, e.g., «interface "lo";».

If that doesn't fix it, the next step is to verify that the direct
protocol actually sees and imports the address in question, using "birdc
show route protocol direct1".
