I saw a similar problem a couple of weeks ago:
rpd[2760]: %DAEMON-4: bgp_read_v4_update: NOTIFICATION sent to
my.remote.peer (External AS x): code 3 (Update Message Error) subcode
11 (AS path attribute problem)

Here the other side is a Cisco also.. unfortunately I got the usual
'oh we don't know what happened your end must have caused a bounce'
response when we tried to investigate and it hasn't happened again.
