The ip_input() part in question was committed to RELENG_4 in revision
1.130.2.20 by a different committer, about a year ago.  I think the
original poster should fix his rulesets instead.  I don't believe
that transparent proxying (using the IPFIREWALL_FORWARD) was broken
by this change, as it doesn't bind sockets to loopback addresses.
