I now remember in more detail what was the problem. It was not with MTU 1412
on both sides, it was during trying to mix WG MTU 1412 on the PPPoE-connected
machine, with WG MTU 1420 on the other side (which uses full 1500 underlying
MTU).

Here I posted about it with some tcpdumps included:
https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2018-March/002537.html

With 1420 on the "full MTU" side, the "PPPoE" side had to set 1408 WG MTU for
things to work properly, not 1412 as would theoretically fit into its PPPoE.

I'll post an update if I come up with a short and simple reproducer sequence.

Setting 1412 on both sides seems to work fine from more testing just now.
