Thanks a lot for this detailed analysis and tips. The strange thing,
though, is that this is clearly a regression, i.e. these limits (other
than the kernel limit) seem to either be new, or mtr silently handled this
in the past.
Anyway, if that's going to be it, I'll simply have to adapt, and this
apparently works as designed and is not a bug.
