You should peer with your real AS on iBGP.
If you do not you will end up with a split autonomous system.

My guess is this is the error. A normal BGP speaker do have on AS number only.
As far as i know bgpd only accpets two AS numbers if the first is a 32bit one.

I would have "announce all" on my iBGP but you could have another agenda.
Also run the iBGP peering session on your public IP space!
