It's a change alright but it seems semi-logical to me that the router
drops packets with an "Unresolved route" reason given what you
describe. :-)

You should still be able to use the global. You just need to change the
next hops. For the "connected" destination:

ip route vrf VOIP 172.16.119.178 255.255.255.255 172.16.119.178 global name TEST_7206_1oc
                                                             ^
And the other can use this recursively:                      ^

ip route vrf VOIP 172.16.119.130 255.255.255.255 172.16.119.178 global name dlab-irvine-1
                                                             ^
Would that mess something else up?                           ^

Resource wise it's the same. Management wise your suggestion is probably
a little better but keep in mind that only exact prefixes can be
imported. So if you need to import a /32 prefix it needs to exist as
exactly /32 in the source VRF.

If your goal is the make things work on 12.4(4) < IOS < 15.2(4) then
that should be possible.
