What sort of multicast traffic is it? Is it a constant stream like voice or video or is it an intermittent feed like some sort of multicast messaging? If this is very low-rate traffic and intermittent, Juniper routers often drop the first packet because the multicast route has timed out of the forwarding table and it gets punted to the RE. If that is what is happening, there is a workaround. If you're losing traffic mid-stream, that's a different issue entirely.
