As Julian notes, this have already been fixed in upstream kernels.
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=8f1b03a4c18e8f3f0801447b62330faa8ed3bb37)
And I have recently (Aug 2012) also fixed this for IPv6.

Its not related to incorrect checksums, but (as you noticed) the GRO
(Generic Receive Offload) feature. (Adjusted via ethtool -K ethX)

FYI: I have already backported support (for GRO) for the upcoming
RHEL6.4 and RHEL5.9 kernels. (Its also in zstream for 5.8 in
kernel-2.6.18-308.19.1.el5)
To be exact, this fixed in kernel releases (and beyond):
RHEL6 kernel-2.6.32-328.el6
RHEL5 kernel-2.6.18-340.el5
If someone needs this before its officially part of a RHEL release, I
think I'm allowed to give you the kernel with this fix as a test kernel.
Just let me now directly.
