Ondrej,

But grep'ing for RTN_LOCAL in the code, I have also tried this but then the 
route is marked 'unreachable' and I cannot import it to be exporting in OSPFv3 
(which is my goal actually).

Thanks for confirming that I was looking in the right direction ;-)

    Hello
    
    Routes in table 255 have special type (RTN_LOCAL, RTN_BROADCAST ...) and
    these route types are unsupported by BIRD.
    
    You could import them as unreachable routes by compiling BIRD with attached 
patch.
    
    Also note that routes with 'proto kernel' are ignored, byt that is
    probably not relevant to your case, just to other routes in table 255.
