It appears that the library API actually requires that the counter be
incremented on partial blocks too. See __chacha20poly1305_encrypt().
I guess the missing increment in chacha_doneon() just wasn't noticed before
because chacha20poly1305 only needs this behavior on 32-byte inputs, and
chacha_doneon() is only executed when the length is over 64 bytes.

Maybe write this as:
state[12]++;
