And it still carries link local next hop addresses.
it's a bit more subtle than that - it depends on how the underlying router operating system handles next-hop resolution and how you configure your BGP.
It doesn't depend. RFC 4760: An UPDATE message that carries the MP_REACH_NLRI MUST also carry the ORIGIN and the AS_PATH attributes (both in EBGP and in IBGP exchanges). Moreover, in IBGP exchanges such a message MUST also carry the LOCAL_PREF attribute.
