Could it be because of the higher local preference value?

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.
