Hi Adam,
I am curious to find out the cause of the problems you posted, but I
have to tell you, the way you presented your problem is too broad.
It could be anything, e.g. related to routing (OSPF network type?), RP
advertisment, RPF failure, PIM MBMA mode.
Anyway, my guess is that, your first successful ping maybe due to the
mutlicast works in a Dense mode for that group, when the RP info is not
yet propagated. After that RP is advertized, and the multicast for that
group works in Sparse mode, and for some reason, your sparse mode is
broken somewhere.
It would be better if you post your config, that would help us to narrow
down the problem, and maybe we could find out the problem other than
blaming it to an IOS bug.
I tried on my pod (using OSPF network type point to multipoint, AutoRP)
and it works just fine. I do not see any issue. I do not have to set up
any tunnel between two spokes. My IOS and config are below. You can try
it out on your pod, and let me know if you see any problems. Also, pls
post your config, so I can test on my one.
