I think you are confusing two different races.  Yes, a race exists in
that window of time when networking is brought up but before shorewall
gets rules installed.

There is another window within the above window which starts with
netfilter seeing packets and keeping conntrack state for them.  I
suspect that this happens not as soon as networking is up, but sometime
after that when the conntrack modules are loaded.  I also suspect that
it happens before the NAT rules are applied.
