I looked at the link you posted, and most I can say is perhaps the 
document there needs some correct.
I have the following line in my config:
     iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 127.0.0.0/24 -j MARK --set-mark 2
and I know for sure it works.
You may perhaps want to try something along these lines and see what 
happens in your case?
