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.
