These are GCM test vectors, not RFC4106 test vectors so they are
of no use when you're testing whether the IPsec IV (which is not
the same thing as the GCM IV) is included in the authentication
or not.
AFAIK GCM itself is implemented correctly. It's only the IPsec
wrapper around it (rfc4106 in particular) that's broken.
