This is actually not the entire truth. RS2 and RMP2 both give MP2 results when 
applied to closed shell systems. But in open-shell systems, they differ due 
to using H_0 Hamiltonians for the perturbation theory. For ROHF wave 
functions, RMP2 tends to give better results compared with UCCSD(T) 
calculations.

That being said, i'm not aware of any way to calculate RMP2 dipole moments 
with the current version of molpro, except using finite fields and finite 
differences (i.e., getting dE/d(dmx)...dE/d(dmz) by adding small finite 
fields to the core Hamiltonian and building difference quotients. See 
"properties and expectation values"/"finite field calculations" in the 
manual)
