I suspect this is very platform/version specific, as I have run BGP
on a Cisco 6500 (SXI<mumble>) to a Juniper MX and we had no
trouble with a /127 (although prepared to move to a /126 or whatever
if needed).  As always, your environment will vary.  I would open
a TAC case on the principal that it should work.
