I am not a specialist on socket issues.. But Michael & Randall might know a
bit more on that...

My take is:
The implementation must send the msg on the IP address provided
instead of the primary destination address. 
But if the address provided by the application is not reachable at that
particular moment, then the SCTP implementation will try any of the
alternative addresses of the association(including the primary destination
address)
