it's because you inject the 0/0 into OSPF on CORE2 *always*, effectively
annihilating the other 0/0 advertised by CORE1s OSPF on CORE2.

Thus, the only remaining defaults are the ones learned via BGP.

Without the always-keyword it seems that the OSPF route is learned fast
enough to prevent the BGP one to be installed in.
