Jake Rizzo sent me some updated tcpdumps comparing 6.3 vs 7.0, and that aligning NOP that tcpdump (and wireshark) omit seems to be the only difference.

Here's what Jake's 6.3 dump shows:

IP A > B : S 2575736483:2575736483(0) ack 1762868649 win 65535 <mss 
1460,sackOK,eol>

And the actual option data is:
02 04 05 b4 04 02 00 00 <- ends with two EOLs

For 7.0:
IP A > B : S 3304309835:3304309835(0) ack 710421411 win 65535 <mss 
1380,sackOK,eol>

And the actual option data is:
02 04 05 64 04 02 00 01 <- ends with a NOP after the EOL

I think we will need to fix tcpdump before trying to finish diagnosing this problem. We were missing key information before.
