That is very likely the point. Between 2.6.39 and 3.0 UDP-Lite checksum coverage was
broken and got only recently fixed. The correct kernel version should have the 
commit shown below. Alternatively, you can check include/net/udplite.h, which
should mention "Slow-path" and "Fast-Path" computation. UDP-Litev6 still uses the
slow path, that is why it is not affected.

    udplite: fast-path computation of checksum coverage
    
    Commit 903ab86d195cca295379699299c5fc10beba31c7 of 1 March this year ("udp: Add
    lockless transmit path") introduced a new fast TX path that broke the checksum
    coverage computation of UDP-lite, which so far depended on up->len (only set
    if the socket is locked and 0 in the fast path).
    
    Fixed by providing both fast- and slow-path computation of checksum coverage.
    The latter can be removed when UDP(-lite)v6 also uses a lockless transmit path.
