IS-IS over NBMA, IE solutions guide lab 14.

The Internetworkexpert solutions guide mentions that "IS-IS level-1 can
run over logical partial mech as long as the DIS has a direct layer 2
circuit to all devices on the NBMA segment." [1]

I couldn't get such setup working. The configuration is pretty simple:

R1 is a hub, R2 and R3 are spokes.

Relevant configurations excerpts follow.

R1:
interface Loopback0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
 ip router isis
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no arp frame-relay
 isis priority 127
 frame-relay map clns 103 broadcast
 frame-relay map clns 102 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.2 102 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.3 103 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
!
router isis
 net 49.0001.0000.0000.0001.00
 is-type level-1
 passive-interface Loopback0
!

R2:
interface Loopback0
 ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.255
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
 ip router isis
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no arp frame-relay
 isis priority 0
 frame-relay map clns 201 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.1 201 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.2 201
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.3 201
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
 frame-relay lmi-type cisco
!
router isis
 net 49.0001.0000.0000.0002.00
 is-type level-1
 passive-interface Loopback0
!

R3:
interface Loopback0
 ip address 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.255
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0
 ip router isis
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no arp frame-relay
 isis priority 0
 frame-relay map clns 301 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.1 301 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.2 301
 frame-relay map ip 192.168.0.3 301
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
router isis
 net 49.0001.0000.0000.0003.00
 is-type level-1
 passive-interface Loopback0
!

Adjacencies are fine, LS databases of all three routers are syncronized
but R2 is missing R3's lo0 route and R3 is missing R2's loopback either.

As far as I understand this is how it is supposed to be, but IE solutions
guide claims otherwise. Am I missing something?

Output of few show commands from R3 follows.

r3#sh ip ro
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
       * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
       P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

     10.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C 10.0.0.3 is directly connected, Loopback0
i L1 10.0.0.1 [115/10] via 192.168.0.1, Serial0/0
C 192.168.0.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0
