RTFM (man recv) brought the response:
MSG_TRUNC Return the real length of the packet, even when it was longer than the passed buffer. Only valid for packet sockets.
So packet socket is special case here.
Sorry for disturbing.
P.S. Wondering - is there any way to find a size of next queued datagram? SIOCINQ? cannot find its description - not listed in man ioctl_list - but implementation inside of ap_packet.c does exactly this.
