That's a documented shortcoming of these early access bits.  See the
section entitled "Known issues specific to Clearview" in the release
notes for the bfu archives you downloaded.  In short, for now, setting
"ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0x0" in /etc/system is the workaround as we work on
the fix.

Yes, obviously.
