Alex, any other suggestions?  I'd already played with one_pass without
luck, and have tried again. 

# sysctl -a net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass: 0

#ipfw show
..
00420 4942806 6549461073 pipe 420 tcp from IP 80 to any
00440       0          0 pipe 440 tcp from IP 80 to any
..


I tried removing both rules and pipes, adding them back, it hasn't helped.
