fwiw, if "send" may send less than the full buffer in blocking mode on some platforms (despite what the specification implies), it's quite interesting that nobody has ever noticed before...

I noticed, but I expected it, so had no reason to comment. The Linux man pages are the only specification of send that I've seen that don't make a big deal out it. And clearly I'm not the only one, otherwise there would never have been a bug report (he didn't experience it, he just noticed sends without checks).
