IPv6 Routing Header with 0 left segments gives UDP checksum error

0

A captured frame is stating the UDP checksum is in error. The frame is IPv6 and contains a type-2 routing header. The "Left Segments" is 0. Since there isn't a segment left, shouldn't the checksum be based on the L3 IP destination address and not the address in the routing header? I'm using Wireshark version 1.6.3 on my MAC.
