It *seems* that I've fixed this weird behavior by making messages, being sent to the cluster, implementing the *ConsistentHashable* trait
At least, the sample project and the components from my prototype - are both working well now. So it turns out that for the case if there are several *nested* routes of type *ConsistentHashingPool* - then it's not enough to just *wrap* a payload into an envelope - it's necessary to make it extending the aproppriate traits, so routers can decide what to do. If this is desired behavior - then it's better to put a note about it somewhere in the documentation.
