Greg -

I agree with your characterization.

I would also suggest that RFC 5883 Section 4.1 makes the same statement for 
multi-hop BFD  - at least from the standpoint of L3 clients.

Subject: Multiple BFD sessions between the same pair of end-points

Dear All,
I think that this paragraph from Section 2 of RFC 5881 prohibits multiple 
single-hop BFD sessions between the same pair of end points:
   Each BFD session between a pair of systems MUST traverse a separate
   network-layer path in both directions.  This is necessary for
   demultiplexing to work properly, and also because (by definition)
   multiple sessions would otherwise be protecting the same path.

                Regards,
                                Greg
