If I'm not mistaken, yes, this is (or could be) a TBird problem... I can't find the bug report where this was discussed, but I distinctly remember one of the devs commenting on this 4k packet size issue. Apparently it was an intentional change, but he couldn't figure out why.
Fyi, it was discussed in one of the IMAP performance bugs...
