A few observations :

What is the state of OSPF database ? Do the 2 loopbacks appear as external
LSA's in the database ? Since you are redistributing both protocols into
OSPF, I am assuming that they should be there (regardless of the state of
ISDN, up or down).

That would bring us to checking the 'forwarding address' which seems to
change when the ISDN state changes. I would actually check if/how the LSA is
changing with the change of state of the ISDN link. Because when BRI is
down, R2 is learning the loopback of R5 (and other routes on R5) via the
Frame relay, and when the ISDN is up, it learns via the ISDN.

So on R2 (I think R2 is the redistributing router) if both the loopbacks are
appearing, we can turn the debugs on and see why it isnt advertising.

(Sorry, I couldnt lab this one up, I have been very tied up with work
lately)
