No it doesn't seem to be an openswan or kernel ipsec bug. 

Did you all read my mail from this night (0254 am) ?
i explained there that It seems that openswan suffers under poor memory conditions whereas when there is plenty of memory everything works 
fine.
I confirm that under these poor memory conditions, using compress=yes limits the return packets ( SFS -> OS2) to 348 bytes whereas with compress=no there is no such limitation
(but faled memory allocations in this case but not always).

Please find in attachment the slabinfo with compress and the slabinfo without compress tag in ipsec.conf.
