You are reusing the same old flows if you resend the pcap instantly.
The wait gets you the desired result since by then the old flows are
culled.

Modify flow-timeouts.tcp.[new|established|closed] to a smaller
value(but not small enough that the flow's culled before all packets
are seen from the flow on a single run) and see if that solves it for
you.
