I think this is normal because traffic for connected intrfaces is not load
balanced. I guess, the packet being dropped by rpf check has been sourced
from router on the other end of balanced link and destinied to network
behind local router. From remote router view route to network behind peer is
balanced, but from local router view source address is not balanced because
source is directly connected, output from sh ip route 192.11x.75.66 and
192.11x.75.65 explains this.
Hope I was clear enough :)
