Scratch that, it's still happening; just not straight away upon roaming.
It is definitely a timeout thing; installed a kprobe on the function you
mentioned and got this strack trace when it switches IP:

TIME(s)            FUNCTION
104.999884129      socket_clear_peer_endpoint_src
	socket_clear_peer_endpoint_src
	expired_new_handshake
	call_timer_fn
	run_timer_softirq
	__do_softirq
	irq_exit
	smp_apic_timer_interrupt
	__irqentry_text_start
	cpuidle_enter_state
	do_idle
	cpu_startup_entry
	start_secondary
	secondary_startup_64


Think it may be related to powersave on the phone or something? Doesn't
seem to happen with my laptop at least...
