Yep, *just* stumbled on same result ... moving the invocation of the entire script to 'started' seems to do the trick ... without yet realizing WHY.

(1) is 'start' recommended over 'started'?
(2) given "tcstart mechanism is only designed for configuring qdiscs and classes" -- is that a MUST or a MAY?  should I necessarily *split* the script -- 'qdiscs/classes' setup invoked from tcstart, and the packet marking invoked from 'start(ed)' ?

atm, moving the ENTIRE script to 'started' results in the mangle chain being preserved ... although the classification of traffic is NOT working as intended (yet).
