(!) iptables causes big changes to the way packets pass through the
kernel.

In particular, it sounds like you may be using connection tracking for
NAT. There were lots of changes in this area for 2.6.16, one of which
broke bridging for large UDP and ICMP datagrams. 
 
Seeing what iptables modules you have loaded may be interesting. It
doesn't look much like a xen issue, but I wouldn't totally rule it out.
