Look Florian:

# nft --debug=netlink add rule inet x y tcp dport 22 counter
inet x y 
  [ meta load l4proto => reg 1 ]
  [ cmp eq reg 1 0x00000006 ]
  [ payload load 2b @ transport header + 2 => reg 1 ]
  [ cmp eq reg 1 0x00001600 ]
  [ counter pkts 0 bytes 0 ]

<cmdline>:1:1-39: Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory

If we leave things the way they are:

1) A packet that looks like IPv4 + AH + TCP dport 22 will match.
2) A packet that looks like IPv6 + AH + TCP dport 22 will *not* match.

If you really want to keep this inconsistent behaviour around, I let
you inaugurate the errata section of the nft manpage ;-)

Seriously, I think it's better if we just fix this and focus on
designing a way to match at inner headers if you really need to match
on tcp ports encapsulated in ah traffic.
