Can you send us your configs. In theory, Cisco's RIP is supposed to do a triggered update. When R1 loses its connection it should advertise the network as unreachable (16 hops). This should put the route into holddown on the other routers. I'm wondering if you've got some sort of weird configs that's causing non-standard behavior.
Also are you using RIPv1 or RIPv2. Maybe some of the debug tools only work with RIPv1?? Also, remember my cynical comment. The debug tools are to help Cisco QA debug the software, not to help network administrators troubleshoot. ;-) I think you said these were connected via Ethernet which means you could easily put a protocol analyzer on the network(s) and figure out what's really going on. Try Ethereal. It's freeeee.
