Without looking in detail (yet) at your tcpdump, what I'd suggest is trying to install one of the alternative dhcp servers on your ltsp server. The options I know of are udhcpd or dnsmasq. I'm not certain of the config details with those though. The main reason for this is simply to be able to say "there _must_ be something amiss in dhcpd". Also, it will solve all your other issues above in terms of not requiring users to do anything different.
