LLGR De-Preferencing

It appears bird (2.17.1) doesn't implement the required LLGR de-preferencing logic, eg in a simple 
test environment with LLGR and one (otherwise-preferred) session down, bird shows it as still 
selected even though it has the stale flag (see below). Is there any way to do the required 
de-preferencing with filters or would a patch to implement this be simple?

Thanks.
