Summary:
If a react instance create fails, ReactHost calls handleHostException. This method uses the dev support manager to show the redbox: line 789.

But, if react instance reload fails, react host does everything in handleHostException, except call into dev support manager to show the redbox.

Hence, the redbox doesn't show.
Thoughts
These two code-paths do really similar things. I'm thinking about how to unify them.
