Here's another point I remember why we forced IP_DF: we want to keep
the packet as-is. The receiver of the cloned packet (often a logger)
has no way of autonomously knowing whether the packet was already
fragmented originally as it came into the cloner, or whether
fragmentation is a doing of the cloner.

Maybe should just add that as a comment for completeness of the
history. :)
