Looking at your description, I think it would save you a lot of problems
to let the channel creation to the peer that creates the connection and
tlsfixate it. 

Note I'm only talking about creating the channel running your p2p
profile. Then, the passive listener could use the created channel to
send data or open new channels when he (the listener) receives the start
channel request...

Cheers!
