Yeah, you would think some of those would have been detected.
The monitor is looking at the /proc/net/udp file where the connections
should appear.  I guess to test this would take scanning that file much more
often than the inet montor once per second to see if the port ever shows up.
It might be a bit of trouble, but in case you want to try something,
the format of the first part of each line from that file
should be the same as the docs say for the /proc/net/tcp file:

   46: 010310AC:9C4C 030310AC:1770 01 
   |      |      |      |      |   |--> connection state
   |      |      |      |      |------> remote TCP port number
   |      |      |      |-------------> remote IPv4 address
   |      |      |--------------------> local TCP port number
   |      |---------------------------> local IPv4 address
   |----------------------------------> number of entry

Uh, look at that diagram in a fixed width font viewer...
