This one is covered by the man page.  *All* tcp packets with Fragment
offset=1 are rejected because they are only used to circumvent firewalls.

The first packet was probably the first packet in the attack, and had
something odd about it which caused the ip_fw code to refuse it as a bogus
fragment.
