LDP behaviour. weird or expected?

I have the following scenario -

R1(s1/1)------12.x-------------(s1/0.1)R2(s1/0.2)------------25.x------------(s1/0)R5

R1:

interface Serial1/1
 ip address 150.1.12.1 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network point-to-point
 mpls ip
 frame-relay map ip 150.1.12.2 102 broadcast
end

R2:

interface Serial1/0.1 point-to-point
 ip address 150.1.12.2 255.255.255.0
 mpls ip
 frame-relay interface-dlci 201
interface Serial1/0.2 point-to-point
 ip address 150.1.25.2 255.255.255.0
 mpls ip
 frame-relay interface-dlci 205

R5:

interface Serial1/0
 ip address 150.1.25.5 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network point-to-point
 mpls ip
 serial restart-delay 0
 frame-relay map ip 150.1.25.2 502 broadcast
end

Now. I see there is ldp session established directly between R1 and R5. I thought ldp session are created over directly connected  neighbors. What explains this behaviour ?

R1#show mpls ldp neighbor
    Peer LDP Ident: 150.1.13.3:0; Local LDP Ident 150.1.13.1:0
        TCP connection: 150.1.13.3.56709 - 150.1.13.1.646

        TCP connection: 150.1.25.5.48447 - 150.1.13.1.646
        State: Oper; Msgs sent/rcvd: 34/34; Downstream
        Up time: 00:19:59
        LDP discovery sources:
          Serial1/1, Src IP addr: 150.1.25.5
        Addresses bound to peer LDP Ident:

    Can you ping 224.0.0.2 from R1 and then from R5 and see who replies?  Also are there any FR DLCIs between R1 and R5 as I noticed you didn't have FR inverse-ARP disabled and are using the physical interfaces.

    Thanks Brian! I did the section again with inverse-arp disabed and it solved the issue.
