A few changes in the "fragmentation & reassembly" area have been happening:

1) Implementation of RFC 5722
2) Implemenation of "improved atomic fragment processing"
(draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-atomic-fragments)
3) Improvement of the IPv6 Frag ID generation algorithm
(draft-gont-6man-predictable-fragment-id)

So depending on what you're actually testing, there might be an
interaction among a few of these.

P.S.: I will post some test results asap.

Thanks,
