Without looking at the context in detail, in general, you need to allocate 
mbufs intended to be headers as that from inception, or use M_MOVE_PKTHDR(). 
MAC, for example, allocates an mbuf tag with each PKTHDR mbuf so that there's 
always storage for the MAC label on a packet, and if you hand assign the 
M_PKTHDR flag to mbufs, that alloation will be missed.  This is only a problem 
if you later inject that header into the stack, but that's usually the point 
of adding headers so I'm guessing that can happen here? :-)
