I'd think these are 2 different policies.

Yes, this may happen when a user adds 2 policies like that.
But I think this's a problem that the user doesn't configure it well,
'priority' should be set.
and this can not be avoided, also such as:

policy A (mark.v = 0xff00, mark.m = 0x1000, priority = 1)
policy B (mark.v = 0x00ff, mark.m = 0x0011, priority = 1)

try with 0x12341011

So just be it, let users decide.
