Hmm, no, actually this is due to netem does the software checksum
and sets it to CHECKSUM_NONE:

        if (q->corrupt && q->corrupt >= get_crandom(&q->corrupt_cor)) {
                if (!(skb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC)) ||
                    (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &&
                     skb_checksum_help(skb)))
                        return qdisc_drop(skb, sch);

                skb->data[prandom_u32() % skb_headlen(skb)] ^=
                        1<<(prandom_u32() % 8);
        }


But anyway, your patch still looks correct to me.
