Is there syn cookies statistics saying how many SYNs vs. how many ACKs arrive?

Where would I see this?

Somewhere in proc?
If not, try to disable SYN cookies, and see whether the number of connections in SYN_RECV state (nestat -a) is steady of increasing over the minute or so after disabling cookies. If it is not increasing, then this is not an attack.

Well I will have to wait until it happens again. The fact that it only shows up in the log when I have been broadcasting is rather suspicious.

I have had egg on my face enough times to be cautious about blaming a personal attack on someone. It's not that personal attacks don't happen, it's just that the more common case is that it's something relatively benign.
