Hmm. I'm having a little trouble testing this on -CURRENT. As a first
step, I just deleted all of the 127/8 blocking code in ip_output.c,
and tried to do a rdr to 127.0.0.1.

First, make sure the stops on outging 127/8 are really gone,

  bubbles# ping 127.0.0.2
  PING 127.0.0.2 (127.0.0.2): 56 data bytes
  ^C
  --- 127.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
  2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
  bubbles# 

And I see,

  bubbles# tcpdump 'net 127.0.0.0/8'
  tcpdump: listening on ep0
  15:46:29.954112 bubbles > 127.0.0.2: icmp: echo request
  15:46:30.964695 bubbles > 127.0.0.2: icmp: echo request
  ^C
  46 packets received by filter
  0 packets dropped by kernel
  bubbles# 

OK, all great. So I fire up ipnat(1),

  bubbles# cat ipnat.rules 
  # $Id$
  #
  # Testing IPFilter interaction with loopback
  rdr ep0 192.168.64.20/32 port 23 -> 127.0.0.1 port 2323 tcp
  bubbles# ipnat -C -f ipnat.rules
  1 entries flushed from NAT list
  bubbles# ipnat -l
  List of active MAP/Redirect filters:
  rdr ep0 192.168.64.20/32 port 23 -> 127.0.0.1 port 2323 tcp

  List of active sessions:
  bubbles# ipfstat -io
  pass out from any to any
  pass in from any to any
  bubbles# 

And I start a listener on 2323,

  $ nc -l -p 2323

And from another host,

  $ telnet bubbles 23
  Trying 192.168.64.20...
  telnet: connect to address 192.168.64.20: Operation timed out
  telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

That is, it doesn't work. However,

  bubbles# ipnat -l
  List of active MAP/Redirect filters:
  rdr ep0 192.168.64.20/32 port 23 -> 127.0.0.1 port 2323 tcp

  List of active sessions:
  RDR 127.0.0.1       2323  <- -> 192.168.64.20   23    [192.168.64.60 1099]

ipnat(1) is working. Where are the packets going? I couldn't find
any being blocked or in the netstat statistics. Now, to see if this
works at all, I change the ipnat.rules,

  bubbles# cat ipnat.rules
  # $Id$
  #
  # Testing IPFilter interaction with loopback
  rdr ep0 192.168.64.20/32 port 23 -> 192.168.64.20 port 2323 tcp
  bubbles# ipnat -C -f ipnat.rules
  1 entries flushed from NAT list
  bubbles# 

Now I try,

  $ telnet bubbles 23
  Trying 192.168.64.20...
  Connected to bubbles.cjclark.org.
  Escape character is '^]'.

And it works fine,

  bubbles# ipnat -l
  List of active MAP/Redirect filters:
  rdr ep0 192.168.64.20/32 port 23 -> 192.168.64.20 port 2323 tcp

  List of active sessions:
  RDR 192.168.64.20   2323  <- -> 192.168.64.20   23    [192.168.64.60 1100]
  RDR 127.0.0.1       2323  <- -> 192.168.64.20   23    [192.168.64.60 1099]
  bubbles# 

So at least in -CURRENT, did this 127.0.0.1 redirect doesn't seem to
work even if you remove the code from ip_output.c completely.

I'll give -STABLE a try, but these IPFilter people will have the same
problem when 5.0-RELEASE comes around if my tests are accurate.
