Well, I can grep in the source code as well as you can...

The code says

        else if (frag_type == FRAG_TEST)
        {
            FRAG_ERR("FRAG_TEST not implemented");
        }

(unconditionally, so not "not supported on Windows", but "nowhere)
so this seems to be something half-implemented to eventually use this
for "can you confirm that it works?" or something.


My guess on why this happens is about as good as yours - I would guess
that the other end is creating a malformed packet, which can not be 
properly decoded, so the receiver thinks "it is a FRAG_TEST packet!"
and then complains that it doesn't know what to do with it.

Why it is not possible to decode?  Hard to say.  Maybe something external
is breaking packets (and this is why you have problems without --fragment
in the first place).  I can only guess.
