Well, this is exactly what will happen once the OSPF routes go away. You
can't view inactive floating statics.
Will you redistribute the statics to BGP/vpnv4 into the MPLS core? If
so, make sure you pay attention to a proper "weight" settings, otherwise
your primary paths from the vpnv4-neighbors will not be able to pre-empt
the floating statics once they are installed and redistributed (as they
get a weight of 32768 by default, and hence win the path selection
process).
