With IS-IS when you make an interface passive the router removes the "ip
router isis" command from under the interface. See below:

Rack9R4#sho run int lo 0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 83 bytes
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 196.16.9.4 255.255.255.255
 ip router isis
end

Rack9R4#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Rack9R4(config)#router isis
Rack9R4(config-router)#passive-interface lo 0
Rack9R4(config-router)#^Z
Rack9R4#sho run int lo 0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 66 bytes
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 196.16.9.4 255.255.255.255
end

Are you sure Brian?
  I don't see "ip router isis" on Loopback interface so it's not in isis

process.
