Just because IP (ping uses ICMP messages which are constructed at the IP layer) gets through a firewall doesn't mean that a TCP request will get through.

Exactly. Just because something has an IP doesn't mean that everything is access the same way over the network. If you really believe that a bug exists, you need to isolate the problem to make sure it stems from the game (check if the problem manifests with other services aswell) and post a complete description of your operating system, internet connection type and firewall with maybe settings for it (hardware/software? I wouldn't be amazed if Microsoft's Internet Connection sharing or an incorrectly set up software router would cause trouble).
Please don't take it personally, I didn't mean to set you off, but just because you are experiencing a problem doesn't mean that it has to be a bug in the game.
