Hmm, you could also cause iBGP session to fail if you just add an interface ACL 
not allowing iBGP between your PEs across the links not running MPLS.

Not sure if there is any real solution to this, other than increasing the link 
metric towards the "non-MPLS-capble part" so much that MPLS packets will not 
cross these links (or turn this part of the network into a stub area to achieve 
the same).
