I send recently a fix for that. Thanks for the very detailed testing
scripted. I could reproduce this error in my setup. It doesn't occur
afterwards anymore.

Question is here still if this is not a bug in the upper layer... I send
another question related to general transmit flow.

If nobody answers then I would go for this fix...

btw: I remember some time ago that I asking me how tail/headroom works
exactly because this reason.
