If you pull the top Sup and powercycle, does the bottom Sup boot on
its own volition? Are you sure the two sups are identical hardware, or
could the bottom one have too little memory installed for the
(presumably common) IOS image? Does "sh bootvar" indicate any
differences between the two?

There's nothing about RPR+ that should cause the behaviour you
describe in normal operation.
