I'm guessing this is a pretty standard deployment in most (but perhaps not all) parts, regardless of whether MPLS is the sole forwarding engine in the core or not. In our case (which an IPv4 BGP-free core), all aggregates are originated by our route reflectors, and they point to 192.0.2.1 and 2001:db8::1. All our routers are configured to be adjacent to Null0 (IOS) or Discard (JUNOS) for those next-hop addresses. It works! Cheers, Mark.
