The setup is:

unit1 is continuously pinging unit2 via unit3. Rules are applied
on unit3.

In that case, it's the FORWARD chain that matters. The behaviour of kernel 3.0.0 seems correct; ping continues to work because the ICMP is subjected to connection tracking and you are allowing RELATED/ESTABLISHED traffic in the FORWARD chain. To test the INPUT chain, you should be pinging unit3, not unit2.
