I'm not sure I fully understand the test and details of the thread, but still... if network device inside container has MTU higher then eth0 outside the container, then packets will get fragmented. First time to MTU1 inside container and refragmented to MTU2 outside the container. At least this is the reason we use ethernet MTU on venet devices in OpenVZ - to avoid framentation.
