Eric,
in my test I do not use sit0. I create a new tunnel interface:
ip tun add sittun mode sit remote $REMOTE_IPV4 local $LOCAL_IPV4 \
   dev $IFACE

Looking at "ip tun show" I see that sit0 has the nopmtudisc option by 
default, while sittun does not.

As I wrote in my original message, using nopmtudisc when creating my 
tunnel interface works around the problem.

So I think nopmtudisc is the key difference in our setups.

Regards,
Michal
