re(4) is not smart enough to analyze packet payload. The hardware
also doesn't have a feature like TCP header split so I think re(4)
wouldn't have influence with TCP traffics by itself.

Your dmesg indicates that you're using slightly old rgephy(4) on 7.0.
I touched rgephy(4) to support a newer PHY and fixed several bugs. If
speed/duplex mismatch was the cause of the issue you can see lots
of input errors from the output of "netstat -ndi" output. If so, try
latest rgephy(4).
