I'm not sure? At least I don't see any bad checksums with tcpdump here on any
device (eth0, peth0, vif0.0, xenbr0). I still think it's the defragmentation
that's causing the problem.

I found that if I remove the module ip_conntrack everthing works again as
packets are no longer defragmented on the bridge. Its just that I won't be able
to use connection tracking which is required by nat, but I don't need that 
anyway.
