No, that's it.

The default limit on number of states is 10,000. If further packets try
to create state, they are dropped. But it doesn't look like you're
hitting that.

Enable debug loggin (pfctl -xm), reproduce the problem, then check
/var/log/messages for anything from pf.

Also quote pfctl -vvss output after the problem, as well as pfctl -si,
please.
