I believe it's because the bpfilter helper process is identified as a
kernel thread - since it has an empty command line - and therefore not
killed.

I personally feel this is a bug (in the kernel), but apparently
this whole bpfilter thing isn't quite ready yet and shouldn't be
used for the moment -- so hopefully it'll improve/be fixed in the mean
time.
You can see this thread[1] about the issue.

Cheers,
