I've just added a copy of rule 50 with number 35:

> ipfw add 30 allow tag 1 ip from any to any MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff any
  ipfw add 35 count log ip from any to any tagged 1

And I see that tag is kept during layer2 filtering stage
but seem to be lost somewhere in space in transition to layer3 stage.
So that is the question: is it a bug or featue?
