Apologies for not looking into the problem earlier. See

"2.6.24-rc3-mm2: Result: hostbyte=0x01 driverbyte=0x00\nend_request: I/O error"
for previous installment.
I've bisected it to the following patch in git-scsi-misc branch.
Revert on top of 2.6.24-rc4-mm1 also helps.

[SCSI] Do not requeue requests if REQ_FAILFAST is set
Any requests with the REQ_FAILFAST flag set should not be requeued
to the requeust queue, but rather terminated directly.
Otherwise the multipath failover will stall until the command
timeout triggers.
