Is this actually complicated?  That is, worse than is already the case
in SIP...

My understanding is that in SIP (and this must be a SIP situation),
each fork proceeds with completely independent state from all other
forks.  The forks happen to share sending/receiving ports, but the
received packets can be demultiplexed to the correct fork based on
their sending addresses.  Of course, there are a range of obnoxious
situations where you receive packets before you receive a SIP response
(SDP answer) that describes them, but that is true in non-bundled SIP
as well.
