CONFIG_INET_RAW_DIAG (or INET_DIAG) is probably disabled. surprised the
netlink dump does not return an error and it falls back to the proc file:

        if (!getenv("PROC_NET_RAW") && !getenv("PROC_ROOT") &&
            inet_show_netlink(f, NULL, IPPROTO_RAW) == 0)
                return 0;

can you strace it?
