Brian, this is actually not quite accurate.
Quagga and other RIP routing daemons understand the messages, if the
interface is set to an 44net IP with an /8 netmask.
They just handle it wrong, sending all routes to the originator of the RIP
message (as it should be in standard RIP).
So for an entry like
44.182.21.0/24 via 89.122.215.236 sent by 44.0.0.1
ampr-ripd will generate the route:
44.182.21.0/24 via 89.122.215.236 dev tunl0
while quagga will give us:
44.182.21.0/24 via 44.0.0.1 dev tunl0
This is a cause of some confusions, but this can be used to actually get the
RIP data into a router, but needs to be processed further to create higher
priority routes based on the gateway info, not the originator (and this is
how my miktrotik script actually works).

Well, it uses the RIPv2 packet format but because
it's not actually broadcast and because it's carried
over the IPIP tunnels it's not really RIP. I just
used the packet format because it's well understood
and serves a similar purpose.
But quagga and other routing software doesn't understand
it because it's transported differently.
We really don't have an IPIP broadcast capability.
