Do you mean that the ESP header must be the first item in the fragmentable part of the first fragment? Or that the ESP header must be (at least partly) in the non-fragmentable part of the first fragment? If the latter, that's a new kind of animal. At present, a header is either completely in the non-fragmentable part or completely in the fragmentable part. Permitting a header to straddle the fragment header seems odd, and I can't immediately see how you could do it without changing the fragment header definition, either.
