I had similar experiences with our port to orange box. I had originally thought that it might be my own fault for handling a lot of our free look and weapon aiming client side but we even tracked the same issues in the base SDK on listen servers under fake ping. I can't say it's identical since you mentioned only getting it under linux, we could recreate it on listen servers as well, but the symptoms are the same. I tracked that prediction was rerunning the frames without ever indicating that it was actually a rerun frame, the frame counter would just drop X into he past and run from there. This was the biggest give away that either I'd botched up or something was a lower level had an issue that needed a fix beyond a check to make sure you don't repeat beyond the first prediction frame. I was never able to figure out a real solution to the issue beyond client side absolute platform time checks, which didn't solve anything more than superficially.
I'd be interested in hearing if you find anything or anyone else has this and found a solution, as it essentially brought everything to a grinding halt over a year ago, since online play become unmanageable for a lot of players.
