You shouldn't need -z to make flows work. The reason -z exists is you can 
use it to essentially add "flow: established" to every rule in the ruleset

became fairly common in the ruleset.

So after all that it does appear I have found a problem then? -
"from_server" matching on packets that are really "to_server"?
Is there any other way in which flows can be disabled that I am unaware of?
- otherwise it still looks like a bug. 

Thanks
