I got hit by it too.

The change is a bit older:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2011/02/25/msg019329.html

but you only saw it if you built a kernel with FAST_IPSEC. Since netbsd-6
went to use FAST_IPSEC instead of the old KAME code, it is now also
standards compliant but will not interoperate with netbsd-5 or older
if you use hmac_sha256.
