Despite I am not aware of the libcurl internals, I understand the reasoning.
Could it be checked if SIZE returned -1 from the server, or is this also
reserved for "the server does not want to tell us the size, or cannot
determine it" ?

If the SIZE set to -1 have different meanings (inexistence, unable to get
size [permissions or other reasons], or even others) then yes, we are stuck.

However, I think this could be explicitly explained in the libcurl
documentation, so more people won't hit the same problem.
