I had our test/validation group attempt to repro your problem with TSO and they were unable to do so. I do not know what hardware/config ingredients in your environment are causing a problem but something odd is going on. Test suggested something like a speed mismatch, but we don't know for sure. Right now I see no evidence to suggest that its important to disable TSO. If anyone has a scenario I can reproduce I'd be happy to look further.
