You mean this http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-add-paths-07 ?

That is not implemented, but it could be ;-) . Seems not too complicated.

I'd like to pass the full table along to another looking glass and have bird send BGP Updates for all routes it has in its table. If BIRD were to perform best path calculation and then send the prefixes onwards valuable information would be lost. 

This is not currently possible with BIRD.
