Ok I did that on the M160 and I get this (summarized)

# run monitor traffic interface ge-0/0/0.0
verbose output suppressed, use <detail> or <extensive> for full protocol
decode
Listening on ge-0/0/0.0, capture size 96 bytes

The monitored box is the M160 (down state) 10.10.10.3  As I can see there is
nothing seen on the 224.0.0.5 from .4 ..  yet tcp seems to work fine as you
can see the BGP session is active.

Correction, "Attempt" only happens in un-numbered mode..  dead time counts
down to zero and it goes to "down"  From what I can tell its not getting the
packets.  Why I wonder.

The hello detail stuff on the M20 shows that .4 does indeed send hello
packets to 224.0.0.5:

Feb 22 21:19:46 OSPF sent Hello 10.10.10.4 -> 224.0.0.5 (ge-0/3/0.0, IFL 36)

Correct iBGP peer to the localhost IP (router-id) did not work, makes sense
though there is no IGP on the M160. so this peer is setup direct to the GE
interface IP's

Right, looking at the release notes I don't see anything shocking.
