Well, after some debugging, the problem seems to be that Netfilter is not
placing returning packets into establieshed state for direct connections
between VPN gateways (public addresses, those that should not go through GRE
tunnel, just IPSec encrypted).  If I use private interface addresses of VPN
gateways (so that packets go through GRE tunnel, and then IPSec), things seem
to work OK.  However, I still need to do some additional testing.

Have you seen something like that before?
