Okay ... here is the story:  First off, "synproxy state" is *NOT* broken!  But 
you need to be careful how you use it.  If you - like the OP - intend to use 
it to protect a service running on the same box as your pf, you must make sure 
to "set skip on lo0" or it will not work.  If you are protecting a box behind 
the pf box, there is no need for that.
