This is how BSD (not just NetBSD) works.

The routing daemon should also have a loopback route internally for the 
local
IP of the p2p interface. The user should have a choice as to the 
preference
for this loopback route, and thus be able to choose which route gets 
installed
into the kernel. This is how GateD works.  If you run zebra but not 
OSPF, does
it not install a loopback route for the local IP of the p2p interface?
