One other idea would be to add a second timer, so you'd have a loss_timer and pto_timer.  I was strongly against this when we had handshake retransmissions and TLP retransmissions and RTO retransmissions, but now that we're down to PTO, I like the idea better.  I think that might be simpler to understand than an enum, and you could split the pseudocode into two methods.
