How new is your kernel?  There were some weird IPv6 issues a month or 
two back that have since been fixed.  A kernel from 3 days ago (r240583) 
is working well for me here...  so if you installed from the 9.1-RC1 ISO 
image you might try updating.

The specific issue I had then had to do, I think, with checksums getting 
hosed, which might explain what you're seeing if the destination was 
dropping them as bad...
