Yes. One thing we could do to make it more consistent is treat
local packets the same way as forwarded ones in MASQUERADE, then
at least all packets would have the same source address. This check
currently prevents local packets from beeing masqueraded:

        /* FIXME: For the moment, don't do local packets, breaks
           testsuite for 2.3.49 --RR */
        if ((*pskb)->sk)
                return NF_ACCEPT;

I'm not sure if we can simply remove it, maybe Rusty remembers :)
