I don't think it's widespread; U-SURE-R-NOSEY.UCSC.EDU's tunnel to
mbone.berkeley.edu is up but is not advertising proper routes for nets
internal to ucsc.edu, and U-SURE-R-NOSEY has a buggy multicast
traceroute implementation so I can't help debug this.  This symptom
points to U-SURE-R-NOSEY's unicast routing table not agreeing with
the tunnel endpoint and is fixed in a later IOS release.

(Oh, and while you're complaining to your vendor, comm-g.UCSC.EDU's
multicast traceroute implementation is buggy as well, a bug that I
have seen more and more and haven't been able to get a good explanation
for.)
