Nevertheless, there are no acks obviously *missing*.  Decimation would be aggregation of acks such that all but the last (over some interval) is dropped.  Here, they are merely delivered in rapid succession.

It could be that the receiver has poor receive-interrupt latency, or that it is aggregating the reverse send path too heavily.  The variable spacing within the ack burst (in particular, in both examples the gap between first and second is larger than the rest) favours the former explanation.
