I think 'ip vrf exec ...' is not working in your env, while
the testing is using "ip vrf exec vrf-h1 ping ..."

You can test it by:
# ip link add dev vrf-test type vrf table 1111
# ip vrf exec vrf-test ls

This iptables rule is to block the echo_request packet going to
route's local_in.
When bc_forwarding is NOT doing forwarding well but the packet
goes to the route's local_in, it will fail.

Without this rule, the 2nd ping will always succeed, we can't tell the
echo_reply is from route or h2.

Or you have a better way to test this?

Yes, in ./router_broadcast.sh, it loads lib.sh where it loads forwarding.config
where it has "PAUSE_ON_FAIL=no", which would override your
"PAUSE_ON_FAIL=yes".
