If you see such entries dropped in your log, then you have a timed out
session. It's the reply packet that shows up in the log. If such a packet is
accepted, then your rule base should be cleaned up. (if you have a 'any'
service rule you might experience this)

I don't trust the filtering at all. Several times I have seen a line in the
log, something like:

service   Source   Dest    S_Port
ftp       hostA    HostB   23312

The I have tried to filter on service=ftp. I got the message "No records
found" even if I started from the top and I knew there was several lines
like the example above.

Filtering on Source and Destination seem to work OK.
