Why aren't my ipset counters incremented?

I'm trying to configure a firewall (using iptables on a Docker host) that allows inbound HTTP and HTTPS from everywhere, SSH from a certain set of IPs and no other incoming connections. I liked what I read about ipset, as it seems to be easier to configure than raw iptables and also allows easier automated re-configuration of sets. But somehow it does not seem to work: I'm not able to connect via HTTPS, albeit port 443 should be open. SSH connections work (albeit I haven't tried to lock myself out). While trying to debug this issue, I added counters to the various sets in ipset. But they stay at 0, albeit the counters in iptables increase. Why aren't my connections counted in ipset? Are there other/better ways for debugging list:set? And how can I fix it? Here is the firewall script (intention: allow port 22 from 93.241.223.2, anything on port 80 and 443, and nothing else):

#!/bin/sh

# suffix for set names, to avoid overwriting old sets
timestamp=$(date +%s)

# allow HTTP in general (duplicate sets are due to automated generation of script)
ipset create mds-c-allowhttp4-$timestamp bitmap:port range 0-1024 counters
ipset add mds-c-allowhttp4-$timestamp 80
ipset add mds-c-allowhttp4-$timestamp 443
ipset create mds-c-allowhttp6-$timestamp bitmap:port range 0-1024 counters
ipset add mds-c-allowhttp6-$timestamp 80
ipset add mds-c-allowhttp6-$timestamp 443

# create set with allowed IPv4 ssh connections
ipset create mds-c-allowssh4-$timestamp hash:ip,port family inet counters
ipset add mds-c-allowssh4-$timestamp 93.241.223.2,22
# create set with allowed IPv6 ssh connections
ipset create mds-c-allowssh6-$timestamp hash:ip,port family inet6 counters

# create union of allowed sets
ipset create mds-c-allowcombined-$timestamp list:set counters
ipset add mds-c-allowcombined-$timestamp mds-c-allowhttp4-$timestamp
ipset add mds-c-allowcombined-$timestamp mds-c-allowhttp6-$timestamp
ipset add mds-c-allowcombined-$timestamp mds-c-allowssh4-$timestamp
ipset add mds-c-allowcombined-$timestamp mds-c-allowssh6-$timestamp
# create mds-allowcombined if not already there
ipset create mds-allowcombined list:set counters
# activate new sets
ipset swap mds-c-allowcombined-$timestamp mds-allowcombined

# add iptables rule if not already there
iptables -C DOCKER-USER -i eth0 -m set ! --match-set mds-allowcombined src,dst -j DROP || iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i eth0 -m set ! --match-set mds-allowcombined src,dst -j DROP
ip6tables -C INPUT -i eth0 -m set ! --match-set mds-allowcombined src,dst -j DROP || ip6tables -I INPUT -i eth0 -m set ! --match-set mds-allowcombined src,dst -j DROP
