this problem persists and I don't know the reason. But until know I
haven't seen any side effects like kernel crashes. So do I have to
care?

This was solved by replacing
-> ToHost
with
-> SetPacketType(HOST) -> ToHost

The problem were the lines 1607/1608 in linux/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:
»·······if (skb->pkt_type!=PACKET_HOST)
»·······»·······goto discard_it;
