That's kind of a strange MTU. What is the other router using? The routers exchange their MTUs in their database description packets. They have to match. I guess you can't plug this router back in for testing, you said. But check again that this router's MTU isn't different from the others that are working. Also check its partner. Maybe it's different. Check out the info here, plus there's a lot more about OSPF debugging on Cisco's Tech Notes: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/12.html It's just a guess. My last guess (about bridging!) was totally false, but I think I'm closer here. ;-) Also, in doing some research I found one mention of "encapsulation failed" meaning a hardware problem!!? That could explain it too. I have seen serial interfaces go bad on Cisco routers in some pretty weird ways. Good luck. Let us know what you find out please. It will be a good learning experience. Thanks.
