I'm not sure I follow; I didn't give the packet logging here but I did give the tcpdump textual representation above (left in the quote, it does list sequence/window/ack) -- that's all the broken traffic I have right now, I don't have the leading sequence. iirc last time I was able to give you a pcap file, but I unfortunately cannot do this as work imposes a restriction on exporting data and I cannot give e.g. the IPs out. If you have particular fields you'd like to see from a trace I can export them though (tshark in superverbose mode just masking IPs would do?) I've been trying to reproduce ever since sending my mail and I'm super annoyed because I managed to reproduce once but tcpdump wasn't running (I decided to use more clients to test and forgot to run tcpdump on all the clients); but since I could reproduce once I'll eventually get it again...
