Comment (by TimAttwood):

 OK, it's possible that the firewall is buggy, though I do run other things
 that stress the processor like raytracers and other programming languages
 without seeing this packet, maybe the firewall correctly detects a router
 ping as belonging to Windows in those cases.  It's not very important
 anyway, since it doesn't effect compiled code, and seems not to have
 occured for any other Windows users that I know of.
