The kernel must provide correct behavior based upon the stable IP
header that it copies into userspace.  I'm not moving on this
requirement, sorry.

I'm sure you have great reasons why you can't use normal UDP sockets
for RTP traffic, but that's how you will get a cached route and avoid
this exact problem.
