as far as ipfw is concerned, the search terminates. it is up to
the userland app to reinject the packet, and it might well not
do so if the packet should be processed differntly.
so i believe the ipfw manpage is correct.
if you want to add a reference to the divert manpage feel free to do so,
something like

	for more details on the operation of divers sockets see
	divert(4)
