Thanks for the review Aaron, and the sensible suggestion to add a
test to ovs to avoid this problem occuring again in future.

I've simplified our NAT ruleset and turned it into an ovs system test,
which I've submitted as a patch [1] to ovs-dev. The test reproduces
the issue introduced by ebddb1404900 and passes when e6345d2824a3
is applied.
