Tried this on latest net-next [using iproute2] and I didn't manage to hit the
issue you've indicated.
I.e., traffic seemed to work fine on gre tunnels using both mtu sizes and
regardless of whether Tx-checksum-offload was enabled or disabled.

Is there anything else which is worth mentioning in your setup?

Thanks,
Yuval
