....some kind of loop in the network, the Spannng Tree Protocol - on either one or both sides - is blocking/shutting the port in the test set-up I'd suspect.

I can confirm this is not the case. Three reasons:
1) I do have RSTP enabled for the whole network.
2) When tried with factory reset environment, there's nothing else connected except this only one piece of link between the router and switch.
3) The shutdown of port is not reflected within STP status page of MS510TXUP. If I create a loop, it would show such in the status page on either side. This means the port gets disconnected somehow, then STP jumped in to mark the port disabled, just like I pulled the plug on the port.
