I can't reproduce this. One possible explanation is that your network
interface is expected to do hardware TCP checksumming, but actually
doesn't. In that case, you should see bad checksums for outgoing TCP
packets even if reply-to is not used. Maybe you can test with adjusted
routing table entries so reply-to is not needed for outgoing packets to
get sent through that interface.
What output does the following command produce?
$ netstat -p tcp | grep check
Can you try the patch below and tell us whether it changes anything?
