BGP Update-Source Question

I thought I had a really good understanding of this, but it seems I am
wrong.

I have a BGP neighbor relationship between two devices

R1 (1.1.1.1) -------------> R2 (1.1.1.2)
R1 Fa0/1 connects to R2 Fa0/1

Underlying protocol for BGP transport is EIGRP

R1 Config:
router bgp 1
bgp router-id 1.1.1.1
neighbor 1.1.1.2 remote-as 2
neighbor 1.1.1.2 update-source l0
neighbor 1.1.1.2 ebgp-multihop
!
int l0
ip add 11.11.11.11 255.255.255.0

R2:
router bgp 2
bgp router-id 2.2.2.2
neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 1
neighbor 1.1.1.1 update-source l0
neighbor 1.1.1.2 ebgp-multihop
!
ip add 12.12.12.12 255.255.255.0
!

I can ping both the IP addresses as well as the loopback addresses. If I
bring the neighbor relationship up first, and then issue the update-source
option, it doesn't kill the neighbor relatinoship, however, if I bounce the
interfaces, it gives the following debug. What am I missing?

*Mar 1 00:03:43.819: BGP: 1.1.1.1 open active, local address 12.12.12.12
*Mar 1 00:03:43.819: BGP: 1.1.1.1 read request no-op
*Mar 1 00:03:43.819: BGP: 1.1.1.1 open failed: Connection refused by remote
host, open active delayed 14770ms (35000ms max, 60% jitter)
