This check is based on the fragment currently being processed, and
only considers the reassembled payload.

Re-adding the comment that comes just above this:

This considers the reassembled payload (ie, as above) *and* any
extension headers that might come before it.

If you try again with a routing header, I think you'll see it trigger.
