The trouble on the QFJ side is that it's not dropping the connection
when the sequence reset is not properly implemented by the 
counterparty FIX engine.

According to the 4.4 specification, "the connection should be shutdown
and manual intervention taken if this [sequence reset] process is initiated but 
not followed properly". I haven't checked all the
versions of the specification but I assume this is the same or
unspecified in other FIX versions. To be 100% technically correct
per the specification this is the behavior that should be implemented
by default in QFJ. Of course, a configuration option also could be
added to support the assumption you described so that QFJ can
compensate for nonstandard counterparty FIX engines.
