I almost consider a fragment with DF set an oxymoron.

How does this happen?

DF is a mechanism for PMTU discovery.  Therefore it is the end nodes
which set DF on packets before fragmentation can even take place.
Since DF is set initially, the logical consequence is that the packet
cannot be legally fragmented along the way.

Are tunnels doing something to create this situation?
