This has already been fixed on the trunk and in release 3.0.3, and it is
exactly the issue you describe.

We did decide to leave in the "whitener offset" work-around in the trunk
as it is a good thing to do in any case.  The default is off but you can
pass --use-whitener-offset to the tunnel.py and related examples to
enable it.  (The stable branch has the bug fix but not the workaround;
it was too invasive.)
