Adding 'administrative distance' to the FTE match is something which should seriously be considered. It is a stepping stone to equal cost multipath and would help in this situation.

New route should replace existing one only if it have administrative
distance (in cisco terms) smaller than AD for existing route.
Preference of network from locally configured interface is only
particular case of this general principle.
It does however considerably change the semantics of the existing routing socket and its consumers would need to be updated to reflect that fact.
As I hinted at in my original response: it seems acceptable that ifconfig'ing an interface into the system should be able to clobber the overlapping routes in the meantime, but only until the architecture is fixed.
