Hi!

It seems we have this issue since 7d442fab0 (ipv4: Cache dst in tunnels).
It is in ip_tunnel_xmit: fl4 is initialized with saddr = 0 in
init_tunnel_flow(&fl4, protocol, dst, ...), net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c:610,
and isn't changed until iptunnel_xmit(skb->sk, ...), line 677, because 
connected = true and rt is almost always cached.

I have no patch to fix this issue, but as a workaround, you can use 
ip tunnel change tun_test tos inherit.
