Thanks David for confirming that this is unintended.

Given that, I think the fix isn't complete because when forwarding
isn't enabled on the original incoming netdev, the ICMP shouldn't be
generated. This diff fixes that case:

diff --git a/net/ipv4/route.c b/net/ipv4/route.c

I can put a formal patch if you like.

Regards,

Stephen.
