2.5.73-mm2 ftp conntrack/nat not working

Normally, people access the ftp server with passive mode. This worked
with my previous kernel on the router, 2.4.18. After updating, the box
seems to miss the last packet(s) from the ftp server or client when
finishing a transfer, such as a list or changing directory when using
passive mode. I'm fairly sure it is a problem in one or both of the
netfilter ftp modules because when not DNAT'ing the packets (ie. when
accessing the server from the router itself) everything works as
expected. I'm not aware of any netfilter patches in the mm2 patchset so
i think this is also a problem with the stock 2.5.73 release. Can
anyone else verify the problem or have experience with something
similar. Active mode seems to bypass the problem, further suggesting
the netfilter modules i think?
