Try it with a udp packet or a tcp connection - so_mark and ip rule

rerun the routing decision (because it mangles the packet in some
other way...).

It works fine with tcp and udp and to emphasize: i have never seen it
broken.
Above you mention iptables - I dont use it and that maybe the missing
part in our discussion.
I should note though that rpf is broken with policy routing;-> Now that
you got me going on this, I will post a patch. 

cheers,
