I looked at the code, and I think it is possible to bind to each
interface address separately instead of binding to INADDR_ANY once.
It's a bit of extra work, but it would take care of the conflict.

For instance, in the IB case, the binding code could move to
rds_ib_add_one, and we'd bind to each address associated with the interface -
the problem there being of course that we're currently not watching for
address changes.
