Here's a minimal repro case:

# ip route flush default
# route add default gw 192.168.143.2
SIOCADDRT: No such process

This fails for me on both 2.6.38 and 3.2.

I think the dependency we have is the actual format of the default route 
entry:

fib_hash:

# ip route
<bunch of routes>
throw default

fib_trie:

# ip route
default via 192.168.143.2 dev eth0  proto static
<bunch of routes>

when the output was piped to awk '{ print $1 }' we ended up deleting the 
default route for fib_trie case, but not the fib_hash case.

I'll just fix up our scripts. Thanks for looking into it.
