I've not looked into this in any detail at all, and I'm sure you are
aware that with the network namespace mode for selftest we can avoid
socket_wrapper and so base ourselves directly on kernel sockets.  

This of course requires privileges so has other implications, but I
wanted to mention this more broadly in case this helps us get out of a
tight spot here.

This is the work Tim Beale did a year or so ago.
