Reposting the query, hoping to receive a response this time :-)
I believe some others too have this confusion (I remember Attila
posting a similar query some time back), so any pointers will be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
     Quoting bis-09 (Line 4860-4861) :
"UACs creating an ACK message will duplicate all of the
Authorization and Proxy-Authorization header field values
that appeared in the INVITE to which the ACK corresponds."

My interpretation of the above is (Correct me if i am wrong):
a. The method used to compute the response digest in the ACK
   request should be "INVITE" and not "ACK".
b. The nonce-count in the ACK should be the same as that
   of INVITE though it is a different transaction.

     In other words, is it that servers are not supposed to
treat such requests as replay attacks even though a previous
request arrived with the exact same nonce-count ? This is fine
in case of stateful proxies, but are stateless proxies also
expected to maintain such state information to determine
whether the ACK credentials are valid ?
