The problem seems to be related with xtables_mt_prefer, which ranks the conntrack match higher than state match itself, as it treats state as an alias. This is OK in the userspace to kernel path, where state is internally transformed to conntrack, but not from kernel to userspace, where the state match info is being interpreted by the conntrack match. We could fix this from libxtables, but adding some parameter to xtables_find_match to indicate what path this function is called from. But that requires a new ABI change to resolve it, which will break Jamal's tc action again, I guess stephen will not be very happy with it. I'm going to take your patch, it's simple and it fixes this issue.

As reported in Debian bug #718810 [1], state match rules added in < 1.4.16 iptables versions are incorrectly displayed by >= 1.4.16 iptables versions. Issue bisected to commit 0d701631 (libxt_state: replace as an alias to xt_conntrack). Fix this by adding the missing .print and .save functions for state match aliases in the conntrack match.
