More info:

I have captures from some non-primary probing addresses now. The non-primary
addresses have not been repeating at all.

When addresses probes my target port 8247, they all use the same sequence
number 2773619225, window size 55808, and WS: 2. Source ports vary and have
even included port 0. ID varies by probing address (but is still usually
14921 on mine), as does MSS (1400 or 1416 or 1436, etc).

More speculation:

So if this is a botnet, the TCP seq might identify a subset of the network
itself, or it could be related to the target. Dest port might be the
triggering factor for the listening trojan, and source port and source
address might be the command being issued. Window 55808 and WS: 2 appear to
be universal since everyone has reported the same. MSS 1460 appears to be
universal for primary probing addresses. Has anyone found the any of the
sequence numbers posted to the list on any other network?
