Hi,

this looks like the problem with checksum offloading. When such
offloading is enabled on the interface, such protocols like TCP and UDP
 defer checksum calculation to interface hardware. ICMPv6 does checksum
calculation in software, thus it usually does not affected by such
problem. Sometimes NIC hardware or driver have bugs and offloading does
not work correctly. You can try to disable checksum offloading on your
interfaces and then try. Also you can use tcpdump to try determine what
the problem you have with TCP.
