I haven't unscrambled where the drop occurs in the PPPoE driver, but that's
presumably what changed in 2.6.27.  It seems to me that the drop is proper.
What's wrong is trimming the sk_buff to match the IP header while ignoring
the L2 header, and that's apparently been that way for a while (if I
understand what the reporter is running where).

Or have I screwed up my first posting to netdev?

You've hit the nail on the head :)

The bridge netfilter is just one huge pile of crap that should
be deleted.

The least we should do is delete the VLAN/PPPOE parts of it because
it's simply bogus.  What if two VLANs/PPPOE sessions use the same
IP address pairs? They'll be treated as a single flow which is just
insane.
