TCP retransmissions from a windows host

After upgrading a router to Linux 3.2.60 most windows machines behind it
started experiencing connection stalls. Downgrade to 3.2.59 resolved the
problem. Using git bisect I pinpointed it to
"59d9f389df3cdf72833d5ee17c3fe959b6bdc792 is the first bad commit", which
entered the kernel from here
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=139949081418806&w=2

No connection problems for Linux hosts at all – only windows. Please, find
attached tcpdump packet capture demonstrating the bad behaviour.
