I agree. Honestly I think a perfectly reasonable stance to take is requesting that the filters get packets *as seen on the wire/nic*. I think that's the mental model everyone uses, and any deviation from that model is prone to bugs in the kernel, libpcap, and for the enduser.
TX and RX segmentation offload also confuse matters here. I think Linux can give libpcap large TCP fragments even when the hardware isn't doing segmentation offload. This also breaks the mental model.
