Hmm, I can't find that indication in any of my older logs.  From what
I can tell, because amandad just uses the handles (x)inetd gives it,
it never sents the buffer size.  From my read, there is a bit of an
abuse of the security API when amandad calls security_accept on an
already-connected socket (rather than the half-open connection that
the accept() syscall expects), so I expect the easiest fix for your
purposes is to add try_socksize calls to protocol_accept in amandad.c.

Do you want to give that a try?
