I don't see an issue matching both nw_src & nw_dst and can see the 'n_packets', 'n_bytes' entry incremented for all matching packets. I quickly verified this on master branch.

NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4):
 cookie=0x0, duration=430.063s, table=0, n_packets=2109130027, n_bytes=126547801620, idle_age=9, priority=50000,ip,in_port=1,nw_src=2.0.0.0/8,nw_dst=3.0.0.0/8 actions=output:2
 cookie=0x0, duration=428.842s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=428, in_port=1 actions=output:2

 Or did I misconfigure something?
