Interesting.  Is this a Linux guest or a Window guest?

If it's a Linux guest, it means that somewhere along the line
the partial checksum got lost.  But I can't see anything obvious.
Since you can reproduce this, could you add some printks along
the path shown in the back trace to see where ip_summed gets
zapped? So that would be tun and bridge basically.

Thanks,
