This is what i got with 12.2(18)SXF15a and "ip tcp path-mtu-discovery" enabled:

6500#sh ip bgp neighbors 1.1.1.1 | inc (path-mtu|max data)   
Datagrams (max data segment is 536 bytes):
6500#
6500#
6500#sh ip bgp neighbors 10.10.10.1 | inc (path-mtu|max data)
Datagrams (max data segment is 1460 bytes):
6500#

MSS=1460 for directly connected peerings and MSS=536 for non-directly connected 
peerings. Got the same behavior for iBGP and eBGP.

So basically it didn't work as i was expecting. It seems SXI puts some order 
here.

I think you need a newer IOS. Certainly under SXI I see:

ac-core#sh ip bgp neighbors  | inc path-mtu|max data seg
   Transport(tcp) path-mtu-discovery is enabled Datagrams (max data segment is 
536 bytes):
   Transport(tcp) path-mtu-discovery is enabled Datagrams (max data segment is 
1460 bytes):
   Transport(tcp) path-mtu-discovery is enabled Datagrams (max data segment is 
9060 bytes):
   Transport(tcp) path-mtu-discovery is enabled Datagrams (max data segment is 
536 bytes):

...depending on whether the neighbor is similarly equipped to be jumbo-framed 
and PMTU.
