I've sent a pull request.

It's easy to trigger - take a standard 2.x config and apply the
following patch to the config:

diff --git a/raddb/proxy.conf b/raddb/proxy.conf
index 413fc14..6ceb5cb 100644
--- a/raddb/proxy.conf
+++ b/raddb/proxy.conf
@@ -613,6 +613,7 @@ realm example.com {
        #  and "acct_pool".
 
        auth_pool = my_auth_failover
+       acct_pool = my_auth_failover
 #      acct_pool = acct
 
        #

There are a distinct lack of errors printed out in realms.c when
it returns. I'm guessing there may be better error messages or
locations to print them, but the pull request will give the right
starting pointers :-)
