Why is the follow a no-no?

  C1 ------- C2 --------- RR

Both C1 and C2 are route reflector clients of RR. C1 announces a
prefix to RR; C2 sees this prefix with a next-hop of RR (if
unconditional next-hop self is configured). And we have a forwarding
loop in what looks like a perfectly sane topology to me.
