This is korg#17251: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17251 ,
from me.

But I really wonder how that thing does not happen anymore
when I disabled netfilter hooks...  I can't experiment till
weekend, but I'll try to get back to it and re-verify again,
with and without this fix, with and without netfilter hooks.

What I know for sure is 2 facts: I can't trigger the problem
now (with the hooks disabled), and I can't trigger it on a
subsequent kernel releases - e.g. 2.6.35 does not have the
issue, but 2.6.32 has.
