Yes, it should. During the last netfilter workshop, after one of my remarks,
Rusty Russell wrote a patch to the MASQUERADE target which cleans the tables
only if the address changes (before, they were cleaned
unconditionnaly).
I don't know when the patch was applied upstream in 2.4 or if it's related
to your problem...
