What tree is this against? I get reject in my nf-next tree.

 	if (ct && ct != &nf_conntrack_untracked) {
 		if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct) && !nf_ct_is_dying(ct))
 			ret = __nf_conntrack_confirm(skb);
-		if (likely(ret == NF_ACCEPT))
-			nf_ct_deliver_cached_events(ct);
+		if (likely(ret == NF_ACCEPT) &&
+		    nf_ct_deliver_cached_events(ct) < 0) {

The combined condition is unlikely I'd say. My main question though:
how does this make event delivery reliable? It will drop the packet,
fine, but all state changes have already been performed, new connections
have been confirmed, etc.

+			NF_CT_STAT_INC_ATOMIC(nf_ct_net(ct), drop);
+			return NF_DROP;
+		}
 	}
 	return ret;
