In this case, it's likely that your slave box has a route or IPsec phase
2 defined that covers your client subnet, so the slave thinks it knows
the way back to the client directly and the traffic dies because it
really doesn't.

Easiest way around it is manual outbound NAT on the LAN interface to
make traffic going to the secondary appear to originate from the
primary's LAN IP (on LAN, source = VPN subnet, destination = secondary's
IP, translated to Interface address -- NOT the CARP VIP)

If it's OpenVPN, on 2.0.2 and 2.1, binding the VPN to the CARP VIP will
make the server process stop on the backup unit, so the route wouldn't
be maintained in this case, so it should work fine there, so long as the
VPN is bound to a CARP VIP. When the VIP transitions to master it starts
the VPN processes.
