This is discovered thanks to udp_set_len_short, but is this a
preexisting bug and the fix go to net with a Fixes tag?

That was introduced in commit 14972cbd34ff ("net: lwtunnel: Handle
fragmentation"), the message of which includes "This includes .. some
mtu fixes" without elaborating on those.

That introduced the same clamp in ip6_mtu. Which was removed in
commit 427faee167bc ("net: ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward")

Tangential to this fix, but maybe that should be reinstated. I don't
immediately see why the two would diverge on this point.

I only see this patch 4/4. Is there more that did not make it to the list?
