I'm fine with fixing this as a documentation issue (fix being change man page, MTU "Defaults to unlimited" to "Defaults to 2047"). Note however this does mean that tc-police will keep its (IMO) rather surprising default behavior of dropping coalesced packets on a GRO enabled interface. As mentioned in the commit message, segmenting GRO-ed skbs is a better solution long term, do you have any suggestions for how an action might segment an skb similar to the way tc-tbf does? I didn't see an obvious method, since qdiscs have the advantage of an underlying queue whereas actions don't, but perhaps I missed something obvious.
