Once you enable the mcast AF in your IGP or BGP, IOS-XR will populate the
muRIB, and PIM will use this one for RPF (before it used the unicast
RIB/uRIB). This requires that all sources will be in the muRIB. This is
different from IOS where RPF would fall back to the unicast RIB, as
Michael described. 

The "rump always-replicate" command will replicate uRIB to muRIB, so we
effectively achieve the IOS behaviour.
