ipfw_nat() reads the following:

        mcl = m_megapullup(m, m->m_pkthdr.len);
        if (mcl == NULL) {
                args->m = NULL;
                return (IP_FW_DENY);
        }
        ip = mtod(mcl, struct ip *);
        [...]
        if (retval == PKT_ALIAS_RESPOND)
                m->m_flags |= M_SKIP_FIREWALL

It is quite obvious that `m' is no longer valid in the second conditional.

I reported this months ago on freebsd-net@ and did provide a patch to fix it, but no developers seems to actually care about such a bug.
