OK. I followed this a little further. The problem is that the natd read of the interface mtu precedes the skip routine that modifies it. Unfortunately, when the skip routine modifies the interface mtu it does not send a message to the socket as it does when the address is changed so the -dynamic flag doesn't help. Currently, I moved the the initiation of natd to rc.local to follow the skip change to the interface mtu but this is less than ideal. A better approach would be to notify the natd module of any interface mtu change via the socket, similar to when the address is changed with the -dynamic flag set. This would also pick of manual changes.
