Yes, that could very well possible.  While I'm not an expert on iSER it
looks like it doesn't use the software crc32c checksums in iscsi over
TCP but relies on the RDMA protocols guaranteeing it.

Btw, what target do you use?  According to
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-stgt/msg02038.html it seems like the
stgt iser target has some issues that look quite similar to yours.
