Hi:

Your example is an extended Home Network case, and you have used a Home
Address from the prefix on the Home Link. In that case, the HA expects
that the MR is at Home when there is not binding, and it will deliver
over the Home Link the packets routed via MR's HoA A:B:C:0::i.

As Keiichi says there are 2 case.

Implicit:

HA knows A:B:C:i::/64 via A:B:C:0::i; if this is a static information
(static or automatic route) then the HA keeps that route regardless of
whether the MR is bound. The HA can share that information with other
GWs on the Home Link using an IGP over the Home Link, but to keep it
simple just assume that the HA is also the default GW in the Home Link. 

So if MR1 is at Home, the HA can still reach any LFN behind it because
it has a static information for the route A:B:C:i::/64 via A:B:C:0::i
and it expects A:B:C:0::i over the Home Link. If another MR at home
needs to reach the LFN, packets will first reach the HA (default GW),
and the HA will issue an ICMP redirect. MRs could also expose their
prefix on the Home Link using RFC 4191 to save that flow.

So MRs do not need to participate to the IGP on the Home Link, and that
can be a benefit in a very large or very dynamic Home configuration


Explicit:

The route in the HA is associated to the binding. When the MR comes back
Home, the route is lost and the MR needs to participate to whatever IGP
is run at Home. The choice of the IGP is a configuration issue, it can
be any of the usual suspects (OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, ISIS, you name it). It
could even be a MANET :) The choice of the IGP and how you deploy it
will impact the capability for your Home Network to handle/survive a
more or less high rate of changes (routers in/out) 

What NEMO adds: NEMO requires that the MR presents itself as a router
and participates to the IGP only if it is at Home. So either you have a
dedicated interface for going Home or you have some dynamics in the
behavior of the roaming interface(s) that can reach Home to switch
between at-Home and Roaming profiles. 

It can be expected that routing within a nested NEMO (MANEMO) will
somewhat alleviate that restriction.
