Right.  If you unload the conntrack module this bug triggers
since nf_defrag_ipv4 will still defragment ipv4 packets (and
thus needs refragmentation).

I don't think so, DEFRAG_IPV4 is dependency glue, so it shouldn't be
possible to build kernel with CONNTRACK_IPV4=n and DEFRAG_IPV4=(m|y).

Could you please formally submit your patch for inclusion in nf.git?
For some reason I don't see your patch in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netfilter-devel/list/

Thanks!
