It seems like the BEHAVE working group is the appropriate place to

filed an enhancement request for the AirPort firmware to address
this issue, but it would be nice if every NAT had predictable
behavior in this regard. Sadly, they don't.
Thanks! Sounds like I'll just have to work around this, as I want to
be compatible with existing NATs.
(I'm not actually doing simultaneous-open; but I wanted a peer to be
able to cache the address/port of an incoming connection from another
peer, and then later be able to use that cached address to try to
contact that peer again. Instead, I'm changing it to having the peers
explicitly tell each other their public addresses in-band once a
socket is opened.)
