draft-ietf-6lowpan-format-01.txt section 8:
 
"Given the very limited packet sizes, it is highly desirable to
      integrate layer 2 with layer 3 compression, something typically
      not done."
 
Actually link-layer assist is quite commonly done - see:

RFC 3242 - RObust Header Compression (ROHC): A Link-Layer Assisted Profile for IP/UDP/RTP
 
Also, I have a draft written on point-to-multipoint header compression that you may find useful for this section.
