Subject: Re: PIM-Sm: Assert message for (S,G) when (S,G) state is "Noinfo"

The (S,G) Assert state machine will transition into "I am Assert Loser"
state, due to the action

"Receive preferred assert with RPT bit clear AND
AssertTrackingDesired(S,G,I) == TRUE."

AssertTrackingDesired(S,G,I) is true if (among other things) I is in
joins(*,G), which is your scenario.
