Just for the archive: it seems that the answer for the last question is 
YES... :-(

Btw. the real error was a

PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout

because the buggy pxe client discarded the next-server option. Thus, I 
have to install a tftpd-hpa next to the dhcp-server on the router box.
And I also have to rsync /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp from the ltsp-server.

Maybe a BIOS update or such would have helped, too. But I am not 
familiar with such kind of operation, and it was simpler to install 
a package. NOw, I only have to care to rsync when rebuilding the 
ltsp-kernel.
