Are you sure ? I'm surprised. Where did you get this kernel from ?
I just tested on a custom kernel 2.4.32 built from kernel.org sources 
(almost standard, just a few Netfilter patch-o-matic add-ons). And my 
conclusion is that unexpected TCP FIN or RST packets are classified NEW 
by the connection tracking, thus creating an entry in the conntrack/NAT 
table /proc/net/ip_conntrack. However, unexpected ICMP packets such as 
Echo Reply or Destination Unreachable are classified INVALID.
