I may be missing something, but it's not clear which end (or both) of
the connection is lwIP.  The trace you include is a bit hard to analyse
as well: if no one else is able to solve your problem you could try
posting a tcpdump (perhaps excluding the payloads to avoid making it too
large?) which should be much easier to understand using something like
ethereal.
