You should've started with the PROTO=1 bit...

 | zsh, spodzone 12:00AM piglet % ipchains -h icmp
 | ipchains 1.3.10, 1-Sep-2000
 | 
 | Valid ICMP Types:
 | Type Code Description
 | 0    0     echo-reply (pong)
 | 3          destination-unreachable
[snip]
 |      12      TOS-host-unreachable
 |      13      communication-prohibited
 |      14      host-precedence-violation
 |      15      precedence-cutoff

to which the short answer is, "don't go there then". More to the point, you
should *not* be filtering ICMP type 3 anyway.
