The workaround does work :)  It is not tcp_windowscale causing you trouble,
then.

Please verify if you don't have ECN enabled, but it really doesn't look like
an ECN problem at all.

If your computer can talk to a machine very near you (i.e. there is only
switching equipment between the two, no routers or firewalls) without
trouble, then you have a misconfigured router or firewall in the way.

I'd try to locate all of those using traceroute (won't flag packet-filtering
bridges, though), and request help from the local network engineers to track
it down.
