I had personally never heard of this and am curious if this is a common practice as well as if this would potentially create any problems by 2 Autonomous Systems both originating the same prefix.
The 6to4 anycast gateway RFC practically mandates this, and it does work when you're doing anycast. But with static routes, you cannot handle some failure scenarious, and that usually a good reason to stay away from such setups. Of course, in the world of real routers, there might be constraints such lack of memory or processing power to handle BGP. 8-/
