Closing, it seems to work OK here, and your report needs to follow the guidelines for it to be investigated. Note we did not make any changes at all to the multiplayer engine in r198 so this is more likely to do with networking issues.
It cant be a networking problem because it onlys happens in version R198. I reinstall version R197 and both multiplayer projects works fine for me.
And no, i don't use any 3rd party plugin in the multiplayer realtime example.
