I lab-ed this, and did not observe the TTL incrementing even when the delay
was over 8,000 ms.  (It's not how fast you send the packets, but how slow
you make the link!)

AFAIK, the TTL gets decremented by one by a router as it passes it on (if
it's held under one second), or by the number of seconds it was held if it
is held over one second.  I agree that anything more than 1000ms of delay
seems outrageous for a single hop these days, but I don't know of anything
that has changed that "rule" that both you and I describe.
