I think that responder must verify the cookie if it is present, regardless

That would allow an initiator to trigger the cookie generating mechanism
on the responder on demand. I don't think that's a good idea.

I do agree the cookie if received must validate against the "current" or
"last secret before we disabled cookies". If not, I think that's a good
reason to not even answer the request - it's clearly malicious. I don't
think it should request a new cookie.
