If iptables logs much more INVALID TCP packets than what is logged by 
ip_conntrack_log_invalid, that's normal. The latter simply gives more 
information on why the packet was flagged as INVALID, for selected cases. 
Not for all INVALID TCP packets. But you should always find the 
corresponding log lines if you log INVALID packets too.
