You can have the same problem with ANY iptables-based firewall. What can
happen with UDP is that a UDP stream can be established before the DNAT
rule is in place, establishing a connection tracking table entry that
does not DNAT. Since the nat table is only traversed on the *first*
packet of a stream, subsequent packets are not subject to DNAT. You can
resolve this problem by installing the 'conntrack' utility and executing:

        conntrack -D -p upd --dport wgin

Installing and configuring Shorewall-init can help prevent this problem
from happening in the first place, by dropping incoming packets until
Shorewall starts.
