Well, there may be multiple places where RIP nexthops are matched against connected prefixes. Perhaps, it's better to convert these checks conditional rather than drop them, because coupling an open-minded RIP router with a traditional one will likely create one-way routes. It would be interesting to hear from someone who researched this matter thoroughly, but I barely can help with that right now.
