i don't see how what was sent is contrary to that requirement.

i don't understand this reference to a  `pure' ACK. it's an ACK! in TCP/IP every
packet after SYN must have an ACK (or that really is -- explicitly -- illegal).
the ACK and PSH have nothing to do with each other.
in fact, the receiver isn't handling the PSH oddly because it's associated
with an ACK, but because it misinterpreted the standard, or the standard isn't clear.
