Hey Steve,

Yes, it will still advertise to it's BGP neighbors; I tried this out, I
setup an BGP AS 200 on 3 routers:

r4 ----- r3 ----- sw2 (r3 is hub running route reflection)

These guys have ospf running, on r4 I advertised 187.1.4.0 into BGP (it is
also in ospf, to setup the RIB failure you were talking about);

below are configs and show commands;

R4:
router bgp 200
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 150.1.4.4
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 187.1.4.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 187.1.134.3 remote-as 200
 no auto-summary

Rack1R4#show ip bgp neighbor 187.1.134.3 adv
BGP table version is 2, local router ID is 150.1.4.4
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal,
              r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
