I agree that this would be atypical.

As I type this, I wonder if there might be any problems related to uRPF 
/sending/ the BFD-EM packet.  I think it's going to need to be sent in 
such a way as to bypass the local routing stack.

But that's on a system that I control and I have options to overcome any 
local limitations.  }:-)
