I do not think it can use the transport mode SA using original
selectors. This of course depends which traffic selectors are used
when installing the SA data to SAD. If those original selectors are
used then incoming packets will be dropped because they do not match
the selectors for the SA (RFC4301 section 5.2, step 5).

If modified selectors is used when installing SA then those selectors
were not matched against the SPD, and this can cause spoofing attacks.

That again depends which traffic selectors are returned. If original
traffic selectors are returned then initiator do not get information
about the original addresses, thus it cannot do incremental checksum
updating. Also depending what kind of checks initiator does, it might
cause initiator to fail the reply processing.

What kind of things does the RFC5555 require?
