I did a quick search in the source of iproute2 and kernel, and as for as I can
see is mtu used to calculate the minimal burst :
/* compute minimal allowed burst from rate; mtu is added here to make
sute that buffer is larger than mtu and to have some safeguard
space */
if (!buffer) buffer = opt.rate.rate / HZ + mtu;
if (!cbuffer) cbuffer = opt.ceil.rate / HZ + mtu;
