Agreed.. If one or both sides aren't doing any sort of uRPF or ingress filtering on their edges, it may still be possible to throw packets at bgp from behind the remote peering router. It's probably not a bad idea to have an additional filter to block traffic going to port 179 on the peer's dst from _any_ src on all of the other interfaces on the peering router. (Or some other mechanism which does the same thing, which I think Sean was pointing out.) It's sort of mutually beneficial for both sides of a given peering to protect each other, as it's not really possible for a filter on one side to fully protect itself.
