What is the exact error message as printed by XORP?
The missing information I am looking for is which particular module
prints this message.

One thing to double-check is whether rl0 is indeed configured inside
the following sections: interfaces, mfea, igmp, pimsm4.
In addition, check the interface status with the following xorpsh
commands:

show interfaces
show mfea interface
show igmp interface
show pim interface

I'd say stick with static RP, because it is easier to debug.
Once you get things working, you can switch to the dynamic Bootstrap
mechanism.
