R1---E---R2---I--R3---I--R4

R3 will reflect R2's routes to R4
By virtue of that configuration, R3 will reflect R4's routes to R2

There is no need to mesh route-reflections.

Think of it as a mirror. If I hold up a mirror, you will be able to see
what is relflected in that mirror ... AND ... those reflections would be
able to see you too!

Have you tried the configuration with R4 as a route-reflector-client from R3
only?
