I have a way to trigger this here, but not sure if that is the problem
there. If the kernel comes with no nft_compat support, then
nft_compatible_revision() fails, and
xtables_fully_register_pending_match() ends up selecting revision 0.
In such case, I can reproduce your problem.
# iptables-translate -A INPUT -m state --state NEW
nft # -A INPUT -m state --state NEW
