I'm not sure if it's actually supported, might work by accident. If
the feature would be designed to work with VRF, surely range
definition would be inside VRF? Otherwise you cannot have same
networks in different VRF's.

Granted this wouldn't be first time CSCO introduced VRF configuration
which excluded non-unique addresses, original VRF-select was
main-level config, mapping IP address to an VRF.

It's such a shame all vendors treat VRF as a 2nd class citizen, I'm
convinced it also leads to higher code complexity keeping VRF and
global different, compared too approach where INET is just another
VRF.
