OK...

...dumb question: although you can see the traffic using tcpdump on the 
backup director, is iptables letting it through to userland? If it's 
getting blocked, then the backup director won't see the adverts from the 
master, and when it's missed one or two (I forget how many, so it'll be 
three!) then it elevates status to MASTER.
That's the most common cause of BACKUP/MASTER toggling, in my experience.
