Thanks for the pointers, I'm using manual keying for testing now.
It took me a while to properly set it up though since I wasn't
expecting that I need to specify a selector for the inbound SA.
Is there a reason for not using x->props.saddr/x->id.daddr during
inbound processing as on the output side?

draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-06.txt states ".. MUST contain the
outer source and destination addresses, as defined in the SA"
for both inbound and outbound processing, so I think it would
be easier to handle this symetrical.
