Stupid me :) Yup, I did power down one of the FWSMs to make the
switchover faster, that explains the asymmetry.
I did not engage into associating the second number to the slot

I did an etherchannel between the 4948 and one port of each 6500,
trunking, and a ping between an SVI at the 4948 and one at the 6500.
