Does someone have a pointer to a definition of what DLSDU
means with respect to headers, etc?

The DLPI spec. does a poor job of defining it in those terms, but here it is from the horse's mouth:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9638599/glossary.htm#tagcjh_12_00_04
and
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9638599/chap3.htm#tagcjh_04_34

Everything I've seen mentions "amount of data that can be
transmitted", which to me opens the possibility of including
the ethernet header.

You're right that the DLPI spec. does not give a concrete definition for the term, leaving room for interpretation. The Solaris and HPUX implementations of DLPI, however, have historically never included the data-link header as being part of the DLSDU.
