Can't reproduce this so far:

:INPUT ACCEPT [225785:239821136]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [189532:100424913]
[0:0] -A INPUT -i lo -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID
[0:0] -A OUTPUT -o lo -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID

this is with a different setup, do not know what TB might be doing
differently.

Can you do
modprobe nf_log_ipv4
sysctl 'net.netfilter.nf_log.2=nf_log_ipv4'
sysctl 'net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_log_invalid=6'

and see what that might turn up for those 'invalid' packets?
(should appear in dmesg/system log/journal).
