one of many counterexamples: change in igp will cause change in
med.  any attribute changes, and announcement is required.

e.g., an internal igp oscillation could cause what the op
describes.
For the OP, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3345.txt
I give good odds this is not the oscillation issue. More likely a flapping IGP link and a lack of pull-up use (or pull-ups not installed such that link flaps would be non external impacting) etc...

I like pull-ups on all core devices personally...
