I've finally got around to trying it, and then fighting grub2 to get a
serial console (after finding a COM header and cables).
(Why can't I configure two entries for the same kernel, with and without
the serial console...)

As soon as the COOKIE_ECHO is received I get:

[   65.756811] kernel BUG at /home/dsl/linux/net/sctp/command.c:50!

It has hit the limit for SCTP_MAX_NUM_COMMANDS.
I increased it to 20 and traced the entries when the exceeded
the old limit (of 14).

I've not tried to see what these are.

tcpdump then shows it sending a shutdown bundled with the cookie ack
and the disconnect completes.
