The problem is in /etc/rc.d/iptables. It writes a file in /var/run to know if it has been already started. That file is deleted when iptables is stopped, but it is not when the system is not cleanly shutdown. Instead, it should use the standard function ck_daemon. (Yes, it also uses a file in /var/run/daemons, but that dir is emptied by the init scripts). I'm attaching a patch.
