Reported upstream along with patch. I am now discussing my proposed patch with upstream developer.
Created attachment 1477444 [details] Patch
The fix is not yet in upstream but I have spoken to them and they approved it. The upstream is kind of inactive so it might not get into any github repo any time soon. But This behaviour was disrupting the start-up of quagga daemons on Fedora so I decided to move forward with this.
Can confirm that quagga-1.2.4-4.fc30 works, thanks.
