CCID2 feedback only considers Ack/DataAck packets, but Ack Vectors can appear
on other packets, too. In RFC 4340, 11.4 the only restriction is that they must
not appear on Data or Request packets.
A possible case is for instance a Sync packet used for feature-negotiation
(as used e.g in section 6.6.1 of RFC 4340). In this case the host must answer
with a SyncAck (7.5.4). Now, if the Sync packet carried an Ack Vector then
the SyncAck acknowledges the receipt of that Ack Vector (thus changing the
Acknowledgment Window, cf. 11.4.2); but the current code would not allow to
parse the received Ack Vector.
The fix is in parsing Ack Vectors on all packet types which are allowed to
carry an Ack Vector.
