Oh. I guess this is caused by the interface having a MTU smaller than
SCTP_DEFAULT_MINSEGMENT (512), as the icmp frag needed handler
(sctp_icmp_frag_needed) will trigger an instant retransmission.
But as the MTU is smaller, SCTP won't update it, but will issue the
retransmission anyway.

I will test this soon. Should be fairly easy to trigger it.
