You'd want to determine whether it's an iptables fault, or whether the
firewall configurator produces some rules which are a bad idea.  There's
probably a little of both, but I'd suspect that the rules are probably
not as well thought out as they should be.  The current trends in
firewall rule generation (drop/ignore rather than reject) does go
against the way networking works, and is known to cause problems in some
arenas.
