Sorry, further investigation shown that this particular problem was caused by the typo in our fix for hashing function (one found in 0.8.10 didn't bother to strip insignificant chars from call-id and cseq number). I've fixed that and the problem gone.
However, we have another problem with ACK matching. The problem is that we are using propiertary module which queries billing engine via Radius and uses its replies to rewrite URI. Since it isn't practical to run that query on each request received, we are only performing it on INVITEs, which is fine as long as the next hop is always B2BUA that only cares about method URI in INVITE requests and ignores it in any subsequent requests. The typical sequence looks like the following:
1. ATA->SER:
INVITE xyz@foo.bar
2. SER->BILLING
please expand xyz
3. BILLING->SER
xyz expands to 123456
4. SER->B2BUA (t_relay_to())
INVITE 123456@foo.bar
Everything is fine when INVITE transaction ends with a 200 OK, in this case ATA generates ACK to acknowelege 200 OK using information from that 200 OK, i.e. `ACK 123456@foo.bar', not `ACK xyz@foo.bar'. The problem happens if transaction ends with 4xx error, or is cancelled by the originating party, in this case ATA acknoweleges receipt of final negative response with `ACK xyz@foo.bar' so that tm module is unable to match ACK to original INVITE.
Do you have any ideas how to properly solve this problem without introducing steps (2) and (3) above for every ACK request as well? It would be inacceptable for us since each BILLING query means extra database access, therefore is puting extra load on the system and degrading its performance (normal call involves 2 ACKs, so that there would be 3 db accesses instead of 1).
I think that it should be possible to resolve the problem by modifying tm module to match ACKs for non-200 replies to original uri in INVITE instead to rewriten one. What do you think? Is there any potential problems with this approach?

Maxim,
neither did I find a reason why the ACK is not matched. I might be wrong but my guess is that it is a config issue -- are you sure it enters t_relay in your script?

Folks,
I found that in the stateful mode, SER is having troubles matching ACKs to negative replies when Vovida B2BUA (1.5.0) is used as one UA, while Cisco ATA 186 as another one. Following is a dump of the session illustrating the problem. As you can see, SER keeps retransmiting 480, despite receiving properly formed ACKs. Does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be?
-Maxim P.S. I am also seeing in the logs the following warnings:
