verrevpath failure from within my own box

I was wondering... is there is any valid time when FreeBSD would
generate improper revpaths?

My setup is on a 6-STABLE system with the patch from suz to ip_fw2.c
that fixes a revpath problem.  It is setup as

dc0 - external nic with natd and ipfw2
sk0 - internal nic

The rule is

00300    28    2177 deny ip from any to any not verrevpath in via dc0

as you can see, there are some packets that were denied.  I can
reproduce this with nautilus by simply browsing network:///.

I've even unplugged the cables from the nics to make sure it wasn't some
bad response to a network query.  It is not.  They are being generated
within my box.
