Are there any cases where iptables can be confused about what interface 
a packet came in on? Can a packet arriving on interface A ever be 
reported as arriving on interface B?

I had an incident this weekend, and am trying to be certain that the 
packets came in the interface my system said it did. It's a Red Hat 9 
system, running their stock 2.4.20-8 kernel.
