I think if the OS filesystem is not returning the right value from stat, that's not curl's problem. I would fix this by capping the amount of data sent to that returned by stat (and maybe printing a warning that not all the file data was sent, and why). So for /proc/cpuinfo it would just not send anything. You can always copy it to a regular temp file and then send that instead.
