This will read to routing loops in many topologies. Changing the
next-hop of IBGP-received routes to self must not be done.

Cisco's next-hop-self has this intelligence, JunOS not. You have
to do that manually by tagging EBGP-received routes and setting
next-hop self for them (and static/direct/whatever routes) when
re-advertising those to the IBGP mesh.
