Yes, it happens only with ESP GRO.
Normally, ipv6_rcv happens first which trims the packet correctly and then 
comes xfrm6_transport_finish.
Now, with ESP GRO introduced, xfrm6_transport_finish, which comes first, 
modifies the packet's payload_len,
and followed by a call to ipv6_rcv which trims it wrongly.

If I understand you right, you suggest to move the new line under the "if" 
section and restore the removed line?
