Just hit this issue with 17.4R2 on a newly installed RE-S-X6-64G. PIC
works fine as long as all routes are equivalent local preference; as soon
as one arrives with a lower preference, the #Multipath entry appears with
all higher preference routes installed as equivalent active routes and the
lower preference as the sole inactive:
#Multipath Preference: 255

Inactive reason: Forwarding use only
In this case, [X] has a greater IGP cost than [Y], and the BGP decision
is correct, but [X] is still installed in the forwarding table as an
active route.
Anyone have any PRs or existing tickets they'd be willing to share
(off-list is fine) for purposes of sending JTAC in the right direction?
