Any reason why FreeBSD 5.2.1+ and 5.3-p9 set DF on all packets?

I'm getting some real problems with VPNs, setting the interface MTU to 
1024 fixes them, but it really is less than ideal.

example with dominator [203.15.51.36] MTU at 1500, vpn server is at 
203.15.51.36 (all interfaces are MTU 1500 except gif0 which is 1280), 
other end of the VPN has interfaces at MTU 1500 which serices the 
10.200.254.0 network (wireless)....

root@dominator:~# tcpdump -n | grep 10.200.254.98
tcpdump: listening on bge0
