My big apologies for the confusion. I have found the reason.

There was a scripted

     tc qdisc add dev enp3s0 root netem loss 5%

in effect that I wasn't aware of while investigating.
This dropped 5% of the packets, and also explains why it was on that interface only.

Well, at least I know very well now at which level `tc` operates.

My bad, and sorry for the noise.
