So bingo, Eric guessed right, the client's sequence numbers are translated
on their way to/from the server, but the SACK fields are not :

Server :
15:59:54.292867 IP (tos 0x8, ttl 64, id 15878, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP 
(6), length 64)
    192.168.32.44.22 > 62.242.222.50.35002: Flags [.], cksum 0xfe2b (incorrect 
-> 0xce0e), seq 1568063538, ack 3903858556,
    win 10965, options [nop,nop,TS val 529899820 ecr 774272020,nop,nop,sack 1 
{3903859904:3903861252}], length 0

Client :
15:59:54.297388 IP (tos 0x8, ttl 56, id 15878, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP 
(6), length 64)
    192.168.32.44.22 > 62.242.222.50.35002: Flags [.], cksum 0xbb2c (correct), 
seq 1568063538, ack 2684453645,
    win 10965, options [nop,nop,TS val 529899820 ecr 774272020,nop,nop,sack 1 
{3903859904:3903861252}], length 0

To there's very likely a broken firewall in the middle that is waiting for
a bug fix, or to have its feature disabled. Sometimes it can also happen
on firewalls performing some SYN proxying except that it would mangle the
server's sequence numbers instead of the client ones.
