Anyone knows the reason why the default
MTU size on loopback and GRE tunnel interfaces is 1514 bytes in place of the
"standard" 1500 ?

1500 is the maximum payload size, which would include an IP packet. 1514 is the maximum frame size for an ethernet frame (not including the 4-byte FCS which makes it 1518).
