Ah.  You want the Babel network to be non-convex.  Ouch.

I've made my Babel network convex by adding a few tunnels over the wired
infrastructure.

I undestand what you're trying to do, and I'm not sure how well it will
work; I'd expect such a mixture of routing protocols to create
persistent routing loops unless done carefully, and at any rate to be
a nightmare to maintain.

Notwithstanding that, I'll provide you with a patch to do what you want.
