Look into Static route retain. Should keep the route in the forwarding table.

Route Retention

By default, static routes are not retained in the forwarding table when the 
routing process shuts down. When the routing process starts up again, any 
routes configured as static routes must be added to the forwarding table again. 
To avoid this latency, routes can be flagged as retain, so that they are kept 
in the forwarding table even after the routing process shuts down. Retention 
ensures that the routes are always in the forwarding table, even immediately 
after a system reboot.

That only helps if the default gets installed first, though. If the default has 
to wait at boot in the krt-queue behind the 300k+ Internet-routes, I have not 
really gained anything...

I suppose it is likely that a static default would be installed before the BGP 
sessions even come up.
