I've forwarded your mail to netfilter-devel.
I can't see how the bug your are describing should happen.

Seen on 2.4.18+iptables 1.2.5
4 interfaces setup
when changing the IP address of 4th interface, and re-running the rules (that were
working fine), the 4th interface stop accepting packets.
A reset on the server solved the problem.
