Thank you for the investigation and for reporting the issue officially!
As we were previously discussing on IRC, this will never be a problem if kernel
is built with options RSS, so probably either people who need and use ECMP run
FreeBSD with such kernels, or people don't use ECMP at all.
I spent some time chasing this problem and found that the multipath routes
installed by BIRD bypass the current logic, leaving outbound hashing disabled.
Please try the attached patch; it's probably the same one we discussed on IRC,
but it gained a bit of polishing.
We definitely need melifaro@ to take a closer look at this problem.
