Small correction: Juniper does check if packet starting with '4x:' is indeed 
ipv4 packet and falls back to 'outer' ethernet + mpls hash if this check fails.
As a result, all eompls traffic to such address will be forwarded to the
single link of aggregate interface and may cause congestion on this link
despite there are plenty capacity on other links, but at least this does
not lead to heavy reordering..
