I isolated the problem: it was not really using
192.168.1.149, but instead 192.168.1.145 (the
builtin bge0). This is despite the -N and what
the output reported. FYI:

bge0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu =
1500
	=
options=3D8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTAT=

After using:

# ifconfig bge0 down

things behaved with speeds that USB2 can handle:

iperf Done.

So do not necessarily believe the -B IP-ADDR or local IP-ADDR
reporting if there is an alternative active, at least for
sending data.

Not after the above problem avoidance: now both relatively slow
