I traced this to my external network connection on the firewall, which was configured with an MTU of 576 bytes (where, again, 1500 is a normal value).

I have no idea how my system got into this configuration, and I think that theoretically the network connections still should have worked (albiet slower, with fragmented packets), but I will ignore those details for now and celebrate.
