R5 is the hub, connected via serial 0 to R2 and R3.
Tunnel between R2 and R3 solves the problem of R3 receiving multicast
from source (it would not receive via R5) When a receiver joines R5, it
send a join via s0. R2 and R3 receives it. R5 can not prune one of the
routers (R3 or R2), because it is a common serial (s0), and both routers
would receive the prune.
So, R5 receives duplicate packets.

Would you have a solution for duplicate packets on R5?

For me it seems to be a limitation and it would be required a topology
change.
