Really, you'd want to expose the pseudoheader check at endhosts; a 
well-instrumented Linux box could tell you a lot
about checksum failures.

But in this case, a router would be decapping UDP/MPLS tunnels as an endpoint, 
so could report on checksum failures -
if the checksum wasn't zero.

Typically they do but only for packets destined to them. Much like hosts would 
check the header checksum.
