I should check things properly before I send out an email, so that I
won't have to reply to myself. Usually Linux seemds to send fragments in
reverse order. With IPv6 it does the same, however the last fragment now
is sent at the end (ie just after the first fragment). This behaviour is
not specific for ping replies.

Ciao,
