Ok, let's try it hard way.
Please check attached patch and tell if it helped (it will produce
some debug though).
With both patches applied - one Patrick showed and this one.
  
Now works, with this in dmesg

conntrack: ea94159c, new: ead4d7c4, old: ead4d7d0, ct: 00000000.
David (Miller :), please apply attached patch, which also needed to fix
netfilter connection tracking bug.
When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can
have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and
thus not required to be copied.
Frankly saying, it can be not the correct fix, but from code observation
and test, perfomed by David [off-list ref] it is.

Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from
nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced.
