Thanks for your report. The question is, whether it is needed in your
case. Are you able to connect remote hoste via Tramp, w/o setting 
tramp-chunksize?

Sometimes, Emacs seems to be able to fix it itself. See the comment in
tramp-sh.el:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    ;; Check whether the remote host suffers from buggy
    ;; `send-process-string'.  This is known for FreeBSD (see comment
    ;; in `send_process', file process.c).  I've tested sending 624
    ;; bytes successfully, sending 625 bytes failed.  Emacs makes a
    ;; hack when this host type is detected locally.  It cannot handle
    ;; remote hosts, though.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
