You need to look into the "show pim join" and "show pim mfc" to see
whether the register_vif is really in the oifs set. Also,
double-check that the TTL of the data packets originated by if1 is
larger than 1.

Periodic sending of PIM Hello packets on all enabled interfaces is
required by the PIM spec.
