This is a FAQ; it's probably using hardware checksum offloading.

Since the packet passed down to the NIC does not yet have the checksum
computed, it looks to tcpdump like the checksum is incorrect.  However
if you look at the packet actually transmitted by the NIC
(e.g. tcpdump on another host), you'll see that it has the correct
checksum.
