I'm not sure I agree the ICMP message is bogus.  It's true that RFC1122
says that ICMP source route failed errors are only returned for
incomplete (i.e. in-transit) source routes, but it also says that
complete source routes MUST be passed up to the transport layer.  Since
we're not passing the packet up to the transport layer, it makes sense
to send some kind of ICMP error.
