Hi

Thanks for interesting logs, it is possible that this is a kernel bug,
the implementation is pretty fresh and there were few issues with it in
the past.

You could try modified configurations (e.g. multihop instead of direct,
real ethernet interface (or dummy interface) instead of tun interface)
to see if the issue is related to some of these variants.
