If you mean "if some device tries to tell the RFC1918 box the packet is too
large", this is correct.  However, the same reasoning shows that *ANY*
session opened between an RFC1918 box and a random host on the Internet
will break as well.

I suppose you could be talking about a one-way transmission of data from
the RFC1918 box to a random host.  If so, yes, you are SOL.  I just don't
see a whole lot of that. ;)
