If you are doing multipath in a VRF and bounce one of the multipaths for
a prefix, bgp is not updating the zebra entry for that prefix with the
new multipaths. We start with:

cel-redxp-10# show bgp vrf RED  ipv4 unicast 6.0.0.16/32
BGP routing table entry for 6.0.0.16/32
Paths: (4 available, best #4, table RED)
  Advertised to non peer-group peers:
  spine-1(swp1) spine-2(swp2) spine-3(swp3) spine-4(swp4)
  104 65104 65002
    fe80::202:ff:fe00:2d from spine-4(swp4) (6.0.0.12)
    (fe80::202:ff:fe00:2d) (used)
      Origin incomplete, localpref 100, valid, external, multipath, bestpath-from-AS 104
      AddPath ID: RX 0, TX 21

And then on spine-1 we bounce all peers

spine-1# clear ip bgp *
spine-1#

On the leaf (cel-redxp-10) we remove the route from spine-1

cel-redxp-10# show ip route vrf RED 6.0.0.16/32
Routing entry for 6.0.0.16/32
  Known via "bgp", distance 20, metric 0, vrf RED, best

  * fe80::202:ff:fe00:2d, via swp4

cel-redxp-10#

So far so good. The problem is when the session to spine-1 comes back up
bgp will mark the flag from spine-1 as multipath but does not update
zebra. We end up in a state where BGP has 4 paths flags as multipath but
only 3 paths are in the RIB.
