I'd say it's harmless.

It could be interesting to find out why this just popped up
now, after
having been undetected for years before. I'm just curious
about why a
client would do that.

Maybe it is somehow related to how client stacks react to
running out
of source ports under high connection establishment rates.
Something
like dropping one tcpcb that is not yet fully established to
free up a
port for another new connection? And generating a RST to the
peer of the
dropped tcpcb? Has something like that been added or enabled
by default
recently in FreeBSD?
