This is not true for IPv6.  From Section 2.4 of RFC4443:

   (c) Every ICMPv6 error message (type < 128) MUST include as much of
       the IPv6 offending (invoking) packet (the packet that caused the
       error) as possible without making the error message packet exceed
       the minimum IPv6 MTU [IPv6].
