Exactly, I found that code early on. I had considered possibly
dropping all TCP right then and there, but decided that was not the
right place to do it.

Right. But to me, that seems at best suboptimal and at worst slightly
misconfigured. A host shouldn't be routing traffic over one
interface. This is the kind of route that will generate ICMP
redirects.
But none of this really has anything to do with the problem. I am
going to test the final revision I made after reviewing the patches
you presented earlier in this thread and then make the commit.
