The question is: do Windows machines take this info into account? If I 
change the MTU for my PPPoE connection, on what interface will I notice 
the change on the status page?

Without changing the MTU, I have:

ng0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
	inet A.B.C.D --> E.F.G.H netmask 0xffffffff

If I set it to a different (lower) value, I can see no change :-(

So, where can I look to see if the MTU has really changed?

More, in filter.inc:

	/* set up MSS clamping */
	$wanif = get_real_wan_interface();
	
	if ($config['interfaces']['wan']['mtu'])
		$mssclamp = $config['interfaces']['wan']['mtu'] - 40;
	else if ($config['interfaces']['wan']['ipaddr'] == "pppoe")
		$mssclamp = 1452;
	else
		$mssclamp = 0;
	
	mwexec("/sbin/sysctl net.inet.ipf.fr_mssif={$wanif}");
	mwexec("/sbin/sysctl net.inet.ipf.fr_mssclamp={$mssclamp}");


Does this portion of code concern NATed connections only or does it 
apply to every packet (including ESP trafic) passing through the WAN 
interface?

(see

Could someone explain?
