Baffling.

Is there anything I could do to debug this further? Is the remote server, an
intermediate router or my box the most likely suspect?

One remote possibility that I haven't completely written off is that my ISP
is doing somekind of cunning transparent proxying for http. They do claim
this is not the case, but the help desk was of course utterly clueless, so
I'm not even sure they had any idea what i was asking. tcptraceroute nor
tcpdump give no evidence for anything such, tough (at least not to my
untrained eye).
