Expecting it to work. That middlebox has no idea what packets are going through other middleboxes from the same endpoint. There’s no way it can pick IDs to avoid collision, the way the origin can. That’s why both IPv4 and IPv6 rely on the origin creating those IDs.

The result would either be significantly increased reassembly errors, sort of like accidental poisoning of the receiver’s cache, or potentially resulting in incorrect packets (the latter could be more likely in some cases, e.g., when the fragment happens to have a zero IP checksum).
