Also just using gre's without the underlying ipsec tunnels seems to
work properly.


This is the crux of the matter.
IPSEC happens INSIDE the IP stack. The IP stack is responsible for
the ICMP generation so it is much more likely that there is an interaction there.

Now is there an IPSEC rule to make sure that the ICMP packet can get back? It could b ehtat in teh IP stack there is some confusion as to whether the return packet should be encrypted or not and it might get dropped.

the code involved is in /sys/netinet and /sys/netipsec but you'll
probably regret looking in there ;-)





Another data point I had been using option FILTER_GIF I tried a kernel
without that option and it behaved the same.
