And that connection that's trying to use PMTU got established across the commodity internet, how, exactly? ;)
ICMP "fragmentation needed, but DF set" messages carry the a addresses of intermediate routers which generate them (potentially in response to MTU drops) as source addresses, not the IP addresses of the peers in a connection.
If any long-haul carriers are originating ICMP packets for other people's consumption from 1918 addresses rather than addresses in their address space, it's time to name-n-shame so the rest of us can vote with our feet and checkbooks. There's no excuse for that in this day and age.
