Precisely.  The bind-to-foreign-address will usually fail.  If you set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_nonlocal_bind to "1", then the bind will succeed but
when you connect it will fail immedaiately or not work (I have not checked
the exact behaviour and I am still digging in the code).

So do I.  If you are the daring type, I suggest you track the netfilter-devel
mail list (start from http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/netfilter-devel)
where some discussion has happened in July.  If you are not, I am afraid you
will have to stay at 2.2.x for the time being.
