My guess is that you *have* an MTU problem on your link, ie. that the 
PMTU detection doesn't work; and 1400 might still be too big.

For a test, please run

     # ping -M do -c 3 -s <size> <peer>

with size values from 600 to 1400, and then 1450 and 1472.

If some size works but the higher ones don't, set the MTU of one of the 
machines to the corresponding value, and then establish an SSH 
connection.


Also, if your traceroute has an "--mtu" option, you could run

     # traceroute --mtu <peer> 1472

to see some information; but as your ICMPs seem to get filtered, that 
might not actually help.
