FWIW, we encountered this problem with IPVS tunneling. Here's a patch
done by Calvin (cc'ed) that fixes my attempted fix for this. We're not
particularly proud of this...
At a high level, I don't think the RTF_LOCAL check was sufficient, but I
didn't investigate deeply enough and hopefully Calvin can say why.
