I've noticed this behavior since at least 4.3 as well, with the source
port being some obscenely-high number, when examining UDP-based NFS
traffic with tcpdump (32bit).

Not chiming-in on validity one way or the other as its never really
bothered my troubleshooting to-date, but it has been there quite a
while.
