I have a suspicion that the routes you are receiving from either
provider are not equal.

A couple of solutions I'd try:

    1. Keep the switch Layer 2 only. Run VRRP on the MX80's and point
the PC to the VIP address for the default gateway.
    2. Keep Layer 3 on the switch, but have a default route pointing to
your providers on each upstream on each MX80.

For 2), above, I assume each MX80 already has the /30 route covering the
PC (via OSPF, you mentioned, yes?)...
