Log and Drop (IPv6) firewall rule "Allowing" and "Denying"... huh?

I have a firewall rule (rule 20) which is a "log and drop" rule at the bottom of the IPv6 rules. But I'm seeing something very weird: some of the time it says "Denied" and some of the time it says "Allowed". There are no exceptions in the rule. Not only does the rule Allow or Deny differently, but the SAME MAC address can be back-to-back Allowed then Denied.

The only difference I've noticed is that when it is Allowed, the MAC address characters are all capitalized and the dest port is 443, and when it Denies they are all lower case and the dest port is 53. So: 1) it's weird that there would be two different presentations of the same MAC address, and 2) the rule is to log and drop, so what does it possibly mean to "Allow" or "Deny"? Nothing should get through.

Log example:
