FYI,

This 'workaround' doesn't work in 12.1T and higher
anymore.

With 12.1 mainline and below *any* routes can be
redistributed into OSPF even if they are part of OSPF
already. In 12.1T and higher if that network/mask is
part of OSPF already it won't be redistributed. 12.1T
is correct behavior and earlier versions were
incorrect. I checked with Cisco on this as there were
no docs/release notes mentioning this behavior change.
They are updating the docs.
