iBGP as PE-CE routing protocol is not officially supported in IOS (i.e.
between a real L3VPN PE and a CE as described in
draft-marques-l3vpn-ibgp. running it in vrf-lite is supported for most
scenarios, IIRC), and you might already have noticed this as you might
have needed to tweak the next-hop manually? Having said this, I'm not
sure what prevented you from filtering out the prefixes based on some
regular communities you have set when redistributing the OSPF prefixes
to MP-BGP on the ingress PE1? Can you share some config examples?

can you share some configs/show-cmds you tried without success?
