Are there any alternate routes from R4 to R2 that have a better metric
than going thru R1? I am wondering if sparse mode switching the traffic
to a shortest patch cutover after a specified amount of time has
anything to do with it. I am thinking that maybe a access-list has been
placed on one of the routers that block ping. This may not be taken
into affect upon startup, but when sparse mode switches over to dense
mode, the traffic may take a path thru the ping-blocked access list.
Just a thought.

These are all great questions, Godswill. But I am wondering which ones
could
possibly cause the pings to start and then fail. Hmmmm.

couple of questions:
1. which router joined the group 225.5.5.5?
2. Are you running Auto-RP or static RP?
3. If Auto-RP, which Router is your MA?
4 If static-RP, hope it is configured on all Routers?
4. If Auto-RP, did you enable nbma-mode on R1?
5. If Auto-RP, did youu enable Auto-RP listener?
Answer to these questions, will give one a better understanding of your
scenario.
