Well, after a while my office colleague did.

Actually, it took me a while to understand that my experiments on our office 
server and his annoyance about an "unstable" imap account had something in 
common :-(

The only solution we found to circumvent such small-mtu paths was:
- avoid related web services OR (not so good)
- Use openvpn over the path with the reduced mtu. Seems like openvpn fragments 
and de-fragments the packets transparently between related end2end tun0 
interfaces. This even worked on his windows machine. 

Perhaps this might also become an outlook-item for the next batman tunnel 
implementation :-)

ciao,
axel
