I believe the problem you are referring to was also fixed in the
netbsd-1-4 branch (see CHANGES-1.4.4). If you were going to upgrade
ipfilter anyway, you might have better luck using the branch. You
could, for example, upgrade to 1.4.3 (1.4.1 "ipnat" and "ipf" will not
work with a 1.4.3-1.4.4 kernel), and then upgrade only the kernel,
from source, to NetBSD-1.4.3A.
