I suggest that the ICMP unreachable affect connections only in
SYN-SENT and only if the seq number matches, and that it not
affect IPSEC'd connections at all.
FYI, IPSEC does not run over GRE, but uses two protocol numbers
of its own, 50 for ESP and 51 for AH.  IKE uses UDP port 500,
not TCP.
Without the check on seq # & state as well as port/ip, it's too
easy to DoS by blindly blasting unreachables to every source port.
