This is the last file pxelinux tries to load. So this is the file pxelinux uses if there's
no special configuration for this client or its netblock.

That's a major problem. pxelinux *needs* a tftp server that supports the tsize option.
You need to replace your tftp server with e.g. tftp-hpa. 
BTW: That explains why you worry about 'default'. pxelinux refuses to take any tftp
response without the tsize option supported, and reports that it's missing it after
it tried all files. So you see pxelinux.cfg/0A010101, [..]0A01010, ... [..]0, and finally
[..]default, after this it complains about the tftp server being not good enough.

Install a different tftp server, e.g. tftp-hpa.
