Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a synchronization issue here as well? E.g.: AS2 is transit provider, probably has bgp synchronization on (default), and will only propagate routes to other AS's that have made it into their IGP. The question then is: have all 3 routes made it into AS2's IGP successfully? Only if the answer is yes, will it actually propagate that /16.
Synchronization is almost universally disabled in the real world. None of the IGPs in use today would cope well with a full BGP table redistributed into them. Redistribution of BGP->IGP is rarely needed or advisable.
