Ah, for the BCF to have feedback (I am assuming you are on BC mode not
an emulation mode) Live needs top send the save CC mesage to the BCF

ie if you have
.easypar CC 1 $10 0 127 relative-3

$B0 $10 1   comes out of the BCF

Live needs to send the same CC channel and CC number with the value

$B0 $10 value
for the feedback to work.

I meant to mention that you can use 
.default $40
to set the pan display in the center

do you mean 0 or 127 or values in between?

I'm not sure it is your preset but the values Live is sending out.

In Live (I'm using 6.0.2)
Open preferences
You have set BCF as controller with USB input and USB output ports (or
a separate Midi interface) or have you selected on eof the Mackie
controllers?
Below you have BCF port as remote? (you will need to select MidiYoke
instead to see the output from Live when testing)

I just use BCR controller and the "Dump" button to send to the BCR and
everything works a treat.

After saying this I went to check as I have only just bought a BCF
recently. The USB Midi receive on the BCF doesn't work.
It works OK with the MIDI port through my Midiman interface.

Do you find the Live's BCF mode slow to use?
