I don't think there is any thing wrong with the rule at all. I think
the problem is how you are thinking about the connection.
You are looking for connections that are new to the connection tracking
sub-system that do not have a SYN flag set.
An already established SSH connection will not need to send a SYN
packet, but will still appear "new" to the connection tracking
sub-system after you re-start the firewall.
So, IMHO, this behavior should be expected.
I'd sit down and think about how frequently this ""problem (such as it
is) happens and if it has enough impact to cause me to want to re-design
firewall rules to take it in to account.
