I don't know anything about the problems with GRHydro.  

I was having problems a while back with the current simfactory default version of mvapich2, and TACC support suggested I try the mvapich2-x version.  The problem I saw was the MPI reductions would hang.  I have been using that for a few months with no problems.  The required change to the optionlist is:

At least, this was before the changes to the MPI thorn.  It's possible that this is no longer enough.

Should we change to this version in simfactory for the release?
