% sysctl -a|grep pmtud
net.inet.tcp.v6pmtud_blackhole_mss: 1220
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_mss: 1200
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_failed: 0
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_activated_min_mss: 0
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_activated: 0
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_detection: 0


These are correct.  The man page is now updated as of svn r286706.
