I personally think it's a screwed up mess. Case in point,

ISIS - LL address
EBGP (juniper to Level3) - uses global for next hop
IBGP (juniper) - shows Source as the loopback, sets next-hop to LL 
(resolved next-hop)
EBGP (cisco to HE) - uses LL across tunnel to HE
IBGP (cisco) - shows the loopback as the next hop (doesn't resolve the 
next-hop)
