To me, the obvious answer would be "just don't do that". Each fragment
is a distinct packet, so it should not reuse a header that was created
for another packet in the first place.

That would work. Crypto will have to set it's own frame counter there
anyway, since reordering in the wpan queue would otherwise cause
unexpected packet drops. I don't see that need for the DSN though.
