Regardless of the details, is it a surprise that the path
taken by initial packets while waiting for a mapping have
significantly greater length than the path established
after the mapping arrives? There seems to be an inevitable
design choice between:
1. Discard those packets;
2. Queue them;
3. Send them a long way round.
All these choices are compatible with the datagram model,
so I don't see how any of them can be architecturally
"wrong". From an engineering viewpoint, #3 seems
reasonable (i.e. this minor delay will be added to the
other delays for starting an application-level session).
