It is for extra chains left behind.

No traffic can come from the loopback device that hasn't already been
sent out of it. As a consequence, filtering in the INPUT chain is
superfluous and any 'local -> fw' rules will be optimized away with the
patch I sent earlier. All that will be left is the ACCEPT rule.
