Nothing to do with htb classes, though you are right about small packets 
  being a pain - they typically use 2 x 53 byte atm cells.

The patches make htb lookup the delay of one less than the aal5 length 
in a table that is generated by a patched tc so the delay returned is 
the delay of the packet when it is atm cells.

It's pppoa, pppoe has > 14 overhead.
