Once I had a similar problem with two eBGP neighbors over FR; I was using
OSPF point-to-multipoint: the routers exchanged a /32 route for the directly
connected interface IP addresses as expected, but this made this addresses
'indirect' and forced me to use eBGP multihop for this directly connected
neighbors.
Maybe that's your case?
