I think by generating BYE before generating ACK in the "confirmed" state the UAC technically violates the section 13.2.2.4, which says: The UAC core MUST generate an ACK request for each 2xx received from the transaction layer. The header fields of the ACK are constructed However in practice this should not cause any issues since the UAS should be prepared to receive BYE before ACK due to natural causes, such as jitter in message propagation delay and packet loss. That is, even if UAC sends ACK followed quickly by BYE they might get reversed in transit (or ACK might get lost) so that the UAS would get the BYE before ACK.
