Funny - I was probably doing a scenario with ISIS at the exact time
you sent this email.

I had the following situation:

R7 - (serial link) - R8

Both in the same area. With the default settings for isis R7 was
inserting Level 1 routes into the routing table.

By enabling "isis circuit-type level-2-only" on R7's serial interface,
I ensured that the ISIS routes on R7 were Level 2 routes.

So I think the answer is that ISIS will insert Level 1 routes if it
has a choice between Level 1 and Level 2 routes.
