It does change the packet's route. I don't think you can live without it in a multiple independent internet link environment. Still, ROUTE targets are in the mangle table, so still, it is SNAT-ed after you reroute the packets with a ROUTE rule. I can get around this by making a more complex rulebase, but it would be much neater if I could mangle packets after NATing. (The iproute2 solution you mentioned is also a possibility, but it has the drawback that you have to use something else besides netfilter. The ROUTE patch is very similar but IMHO more manageable.)
