I don't think it will work. See explanation below.

The DNAT rule is only evaluated when the connection the packet belong to
is in state NEW. Basically, this is the first packet of the connection.
This will be a SYN on TCP. There no real chance that suricata detect an
abnormal behaviour on this packet.
Even if it was working, the server would receive packets from a
connection which is already established. And the operating system would
not understand.

I continue the explanations below.

With that setup, Suricata will reinject the packet at the top of
PREROUTING nat with a mark of 0x1 (mask being 0x1)...

This will clash here as bad packets have received the same mark.

I don't get what's going on here. The ACCEPT rules should have match.
Which version of suricata are you using ?

As said before PREROUTING nat only see the first packet ...
