Another hypothesis is something causing the remote web site's path MTU
discovery to break in some fashion, or even that it never actually
works correctly but sometimes gets away with it.

and let them handle all of that sort of thing. They mostly work ok,
though their load balancing equipment seems to result in some
incorrectly returned packets sometimes.)
