yeah, but that's a stateless proxy... It is not supposed to memorize anything or 
remember that anything took place before getting the ACK. What would he match the top 
most 'Via' with then...?

Not quite; a proxy is actually quite free to add tags in the
responses it generates (see rfc3261, section 16.7, step 6 --
towards the beginning of page 112).  The only stipulations are
that a proxy must not change tags if a response it is proxying
already has tags; and it must, of course, not add tags to a
response that it is proxying which does not have any tags.

rfc3261 actually made it easier to match ACKs to pending INVITE
transactions for non-2xx responses -- see Section 8.1.1.7, third
paragraph.  All you need to match an ACK for a non-2xx response
is the branch ID of the topmost Via.
