Hello Jean-Paul, thanks for tracking this down, you rock!
I promise that when I'll have payed all by debts I'll buy one of
those posters of Exarkun to hang on my wall!

Following your indications I attached a minimal example to a new ticket:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4719
Some additional info:
* problem occurs only if more than 64KB of data are written to the
transport before its consumer calls stopProducing on it
* problem occurs only if some time passes before its producer
unregisters itself from the transport
Thanks again for your help! :)
