Same exact issue as the OP, but I had two FVS318g routers so I am able to confirm this is a firmware issue.
One is with firmware 3.0.7-34 in "Classical Routing" mode. With this router I can setup services, add them to firewall LAN WAN inbound rules, and ports and services are forwarded through to any IP device on the network for processing.
The other is upgraded to 3.1.1-14. After firmware upgrade I did a factory reset (held down button) and then configured all the settings to be exactly the same as 3.0.7-34. Port forwarding/services inbound rules are all exactly the same as on the 3.0.7-34 but traffic does not get passed inbound through the firewall.
Really need this fixed ASAP.
