I think that this will be hard to avoid; the several existing tunnel implementations that OVS plugs into all allow matching on the outer addresses/ports, I don't see a good way to restrict it without introducing completely new metadata_dst paths for GTP. I'd prefer not to introduce something like this if we can avoid it; several tunnels currently share all of the same metadata_dst code and that's proven sufficient for all cases so far. If someone wishes to implement the 3GPP standard correctly then they should not create matches like this. In quite a few cases, OVS tends to take the approach that we give the user the tools to do what they need to do, but if they wish to shoot themselves in the foot then that's up to them. We can of course work towards ensuring the OVS userspace guides users in the right direction though.
