Bidirectional PIM

Is the result of 'ip mroute x.x.x.x' when using Bidirectional PIM this way?

Rack2R11#sh ip mrou 239.6.6.6

(*, 239.6.6.6), 00:41:34/00:02:55, RP 148.5.4.1, flags: BP
  Bidir-Upstream: FastEthernet3/0, RPF nbr 148.5.114.4
  Outgoing interface list:
    FastEthernet3/0, Bidir-Upstream/Sparse-Dense, 00:41:23/00:00:00

It seems to be working correctly, but I found it weird the absence of the source on the result of show ip mroute.

       **RP**
R11------R4--------R2

source---->(f0/0)R11(f3/0)------(f1/1.80)R4(s0/1)--------(s0/1)R2

R4 is the RP.
R2 joined the group 239.6.6.6

When using PIM-SM I can see the register process.
R11 receives the multicast from the source but there is no indication that it forwards it to the RP when I see the result of 'show ip mrout 239.6.6.6; but 'debug ip mpacket' show that R11 is forwarding the multicast toward RP.
Also, 'debug ip mpacket' on RP shows it is forwarding traffic toward the receiver, R2.

Rack2R4#sh ip mrou 239.6.6.6
