I think the problem you are seeing has to do with the difference of
"--set" verses "--update" in the recent match. Namely I'm not sure that
"--update" or "--rcheck" will actually add address to a recent list if
they are not already in there.

I'm guessing so seeing as how you are seeing packets added to the
browserconn recent list.
