Actually, i think i found the root cause. The sequence should be:

1) pfkey->kernel: flush
kernel flushes SA/SPD
2)kernel->pfkey: respond to flush message
3)kernel->all user space listeners: i just flushed the SA/SPD

#2 is always needed.
#3 is wrong if SA/SPD is empty.
kernel unfortunately sends a single broadcast which combines
#2 and #3. So the proper fix is to break #2 and #3 into
separate messages. And follow the rules above.

I dont have time to fix it right now - but i will send a patch
tommorow.

cheers,
jamal
