it does change the behaviour indeed. i dont know the reason. but i while 
discovering the issue on 4.14 last week and newly on 4.9 this week while 
testing
(my latest firmware i builded was from 30. december and worked) i got 
tracked it down to this small patch and it immediatly worked after 
reverting it

this is possible yes, but i cannot look into the "deutsche telekom" host

let me just take a look into our patch
+ for_ifa(in_dev) {
+ if (inet_ifa_match(fl4->saddr, ifa))
+ return fl4->saddr;
+ } endfor_ifa(in_dev);
this looks like you're checking if the source address matches to a local 
interface, if not you return 0.0.0.0 instead of the source address

(193.158.35.251, 239.35.20.4)    Iif: ppp0       Oifs: briptv

our first source address here 193.158.35.251 is from a remote network. 
so your patch also will change the behaviour since the source address 
will get ignored
