I think we have to ask the question : Should routers enforce the rule, or
only end points ?

End points must handle NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT, in ipv6_frag_rcv()

If there is an error, then you want to send the ICMP, right ?

The (offset + 1) expression will become 0, and surely the test will be false,
so you wont send the ICMP...
