i'm sure i saw similar effects when i had a full-duplex link that one side thought
was half-duplex (or conversely, a half-duplex link that one or both
treated as full-duplex); i'd always assumed the acks and other packets were lost.
they could communicate but it got very slow.
i mention it because hardware-level autoconfiguration between
cards and switches often got messed up a few years ago.
i seem to have better luck with things now on 10/100meg, but perhaps there's
still something not quite right with Gigabit ether kit's negotiation, if you're
relying on that.  or perhaps the driver isn't setting that quite right.
probably nothing to do with your problems but i thought i'd mention it just in case.
