I'm pretty sure you have already seen this, but:

I'm beginning to suspect the Ubuntu people touched the kernel TPROXY
code or libcap2 code with bad results. The same kernel version(s) which
is known to be working in Debian fails with these weird problems in
Ubuntu. :(

I've written off all Ubuntu older than Natty as too difficult to use
with TPROXY. Still waiting on some feedback about whether it works
easily with Natty and Oneiric. They definitely have all the prerequisite
packages known to work together in Debian "out of the box".
