That's what I would expect, too. But did you take a look at the usbmon traces Markus acquired?

They aren't completely definitive because the communications between the computer and the device _before_ the bulk transfers started were different. However they do clearly show the device working with 24064-byte transfers and not working with 12288+11776-byte transfers.

You can argue until you're blue in the face. It won't affect the results that Markus got in real life.

The device does not send short packets. If it did, the 24064-byte transfers would end early.
