Turns out that this is fixed as described by Siim previously in
http://lists.graemef.net/pipermail/lvs-users/2009-December/022805.html

What I forgot was to restart the sync daemon process. Existing sockets
won't be affected by the increased sysctl value. So:

   net.core.wmem_max = 16777216 # Or tune to your needs
   net.core.rmem_max = 16777216 # Or tune to your needs

..then restart the sync daemon (ipvsadm --stop-daemon master, ipvsadm
--start-daemon backup --mcast-interface <dev>). Same on the backup.

This solved the problem right away.
