Sorry, you are right. This wouldn't change anything.
I've tested so much to find the responsible peace of code for my problem, so
i messed up some things here.

Well, the really responsible code is the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
static unsigned int
ip_nat_local_fn(unsigned int hooknum,
		struct sk_buff **pskb,
		const struct net_device *in,
		const struct net_device *out,
		int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *))
{
	struct ip_conntrack *ct;
	enum ip_conntrack_info ctinfo;
	unsigned int ret;

	/* root is playing with raw sockets. */
	if ((*pskb)->len < sizeof(struct iphdr)
	    || (*pskb)->nh.iph->ihl * 4 < sizeof(struct iphdr))
		return NF_ACCEPT;

	ret = ip_nat_fn(hooknum, pskb, in, out, okfn);
	if (ret != NF_DROP && ret != NF_STOLEN
	    && (ct = ip_conntrack_get(*pskb, &ctinfo)) != NULL) {
		enum ip_conntrack_dir dir = CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo);

		if (ct->tuplehash[dir].tuple.dst.ip !=
		    ct->tuplehash[!dir].tuple.src.ip
#ifdef CONFIG_XFRM
		    || ct->tuplehash[dir].tuple.dst.u.all !=
		       ct->tuplehash[!dir].tuple.src.u.all
#endif
		    )
			if (ip_route_me_harder(pskb, RTN_UNSPEC))
				ret = NF_DROP;
	}
	return ret;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be more exactly, it's the examination of
"ct->tuplehash[dir].tuple.dst.u.all != ct->tuplehash[!dir].tuple.src.u.all"
which is only be done if XFRM is configured. Since I don't need this anyway,
I deactivated XFRM now and my "ping -I" is working now.
