It's wroking as designed in that respect.  ehca does not implement srq - without
srq, there is no way to prepost receive buffers for a resonable number of
connections without running out of memory.

So it is falling back on datagram mode.
Talk to ehca guys to implement srq and connected mode will be enabled.

Probably a bug in error handling somewhere.
Post the sysrq t trace and I'll take a look.
