ASR 9001 BGP vpnv4 next-hop self, donĀ“t work with RPL

Hi
Why doesn't  next-hop work with RPL. Configured under router bgp address-family it works fine.
When I follow the label path from a client, it goes wrong between the central routers, label pointing to wrong destination/net
!
! DoesnĀ“t work
router bgp 123
neighbor-group UCN_RR-C
  remote-as 65123
  update-source Loopback123
  address-family vpnv4 unicast
   route-reflector-client
   route-policy UCN_RR-C_OUT out
   soft-reconfiguration inbound always
  !
route-policy UCN_RR-C_OUT
  set next-hop self
end-policy
!

!

! This works fine
router bgp 123
neighbor-group UCN_RR-C
  remote-as 65123
  update-source Loopback123
  address-family vpnv4 unicast
   route-reflector-client
   next-hop-self
   soft-reconfiguration inbound always
  !

My goal is to have the central routers as next hop for everything outside to the AS, but not for what's inside the local AS.
This because I use MPLS VPN Inter-as option B with no LDP between the AS, then needs Next-hop self for routes outside the AS.

Many Thanks
/Daniel

The answer to this is that it's all or nothing, cant do it with rpl as expected.
