Unfortunately this would appear to be a chicken and egg problem: if we use the default behaviour of 2.6.32+, we get the massive packet loss. If we apply the round robin patch [2], we get no heterogeneous link speeds. I also tried another patch [3] to the default 2.6.32+ behaviour, but this didn't resolve the problem. There is still some packet loss, though it's a bit better than before. Would appreciate any ideas...
