I'm not sure. This is the outgoing policy that strongSwan creates for
an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel when compression is enabled:

src fd02::/16 dst fd02::2/128
        dir out priority 326271 ptype main
        tmpl src 10.0.0.8 dst 192.168.1.231
                proto comp spi 0x0000d00e reqid 1 mode tunnel
        tmpl src 0.0.0.0 dst 0.0.0.0
                proto esp spi 0xc543e950 reqid 1 mode transport

After your patch, outgoing IPv6 packets fail to match the associated state:

src 10.0.0.8 dst 192.168.1.231
        proto esp spi 0xc543e950 reqid 1 mode transport
        replay-window 0
        auth-trunc hmac(sha256)
0x143b570f59b23eaa560905f19a922451c6dfa5694ba2e45e1b065bb1863421aa 128
        enc cbc(aes) 0x526ed144ca087125ce30e36c8f20d972
        encap type espinudp sport 4501 dport 4500 addr 0.0.0.0
        anti-replay context: seq 0x0, oseq 0x0, bitmap 0x00000000
        sel src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 0.0.0.0/0

Is this an invalid configuration?
