One thing that came to mind after writing the above is that the packet number is always transmitted modulo 2^32 or less. Thus a random gap of this range is no different from resetting the packet number assuming the oberserver does not know the real packet number of the connection. But that assumption is not safe depending on how reliably the network can be monitored by the observer.
