You seem to be saying that that if I explicitly set the policy reqids
that it should work. 

I had experimented with that a lot 

The problem is that I cannot find a good combination of reqids 

It's very simple, you want each equivalent class of SAs (i.e.,
SAs where any one can replace the other) to be assigned a unique
reqid.

The Openswan algorithm simply assigns an ID to each policy (or
connection as it stores them internally), and then uses that ID
as the reqid.
