Now this is definitely broken because it fiddles with TCP packets in the middle, but still it should *work* in as much as making the packet go out. Well except that you need to fix up the checksum so that it only contains the pseudo-header on output. That's probably what you need to address if we failed in avoiding LRO on forwarded traffic.
