This is indeed the case (when I interpret the tcpdump output correct):

HTTP_SERVER.http > HTTP_CLIENT.63131 is in FIN_WAIT_2 state.
After the last line it stopped and go away from FIN_WAIT_2 as expteced 
(timeout...).

And the firewall rejects/drops exactly those packages.
The client is not responding.
