Best to report these things on drbd-user at lists.linbit.com.

I inline your paste here, so I can comment it.
There is a simple workaround:
specify at least one net-option explicitly,
see below.

Just add

In fact, setting any net option would do.
You can put that in the global section as well.

but for now, you need this simple workaround.
