The RSV shows a liberal and antisupernatural bias at several points. IMO a good assessment of the RSV was done by O.T. Allis in a book entitled "Revision or New Translation" that is probably long out of print but can be found in some libraries. Allis was no TR advocate but strongly criticized the RSV for being much less literal than the AV or ASV (the RSV was supposed to be a revision of the ASV) and for the liberal antisupernatural bias.
Most "conservatives" rejected the RSV not necessarily because of the manuscript issue but because the OT ignored and contradicted the NT in many places, especially messianic passages, Isaiah 7:14 most notably. There were issues with the NT as well, notably the substitution of the term expiation for propitiation.
Evangelical rejection of the RSV led to the multitude of translations that followed by those who thought the KJV was no longer adequate. (i.e. NASB, NIV, NKJV, ESV, HCSB).
