I think I found the reason:
tcp_clean_rtx_queue without SACK it does not decrement sacked_out but
tcp_reset_reno_sack/remove_reno_sack is being called later in
tcp_fastretrans_alert. Before that, tcp_sync_left_out is being called,
at least by tcp_fastretrans_alert itself, which sees sacked_out that
includes also segments that are no longer in window (this also explains
why the original code did not do the reduction in the non-SACK case). Also
tcp_process_frto calls tcp_sync_left_out, so it would also lead to the
same problem.
Here is a change that ignores this trap without SACK. However, it would be
useful to trap this without SACK too as S+L skb causes potentially a
negative packets in flight (= large one) disturbing cwnd compares.
[PATCH] [TCP]: Use S+L catcher only with SACK for now
TCP has a transitional state when SACK is not in use during
which this invariant is temporarily broken. Without SACK,
tcp_clean_rtx_queue does not decrement sacked_out. Therefore
calls to tcp_sync_left_out before sacked_out is again
corrected by tcp_fastretrans_alert can trigger this trap as
sacked_out still has couple of segments that are already out
of window.
