I agree we can't fix the race condition where another process binds port
SRC+1.

But, in the case I describe, we know DEST is taken by the client, which
may be on the same computer, so we shouldn't bind DEST-1. This is what's
happening with me.
And to avoid this, we could bind only even ports number for SRC.
Moreover, as noticed by David, this seems to be a common practice.
