Alan,

Could have been but my setup doesn't have multiple path :

r10 (igmp join-group 2)
|
|
r2 (hub-MA-RP1) --- r5 (spoke1-RP2) ----r7
|
|
r9 (spoke2)
|
|
r4 (igmp join-group 1)

add to this a third spoke :
r2
|
|
r3 (spoke3)
|
|
r6 (igmp join-group 1)

And this is what I get on r7 :
r7#ping 230.0.0.1 (== GROUP1)

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 230.0.0.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
