Have you searched for possibly relevant bugs on CCO?  3.1(4) is pretty 
old, and I suspect that if/when you open a case with Cisco, the first 
thing they will recommend is that you upgrade to a newer version of code. 
I have 3.2(4) running in production on about 20 FWSMs and it's pretty 
stable, using both transparent and routed contexts.  I can't speak to the 
IPv6 functionality at the moment because I'm not running any v6 contexts.
That's probably something I should turn up in my lab :)  4.0(1) came out 
in the last week or so, but I haven't had a chance to try it out in my 
lab yet.

A quick scan of the FWSM bug list shows some items that could be related 
to your situation, but without more details, I could only guess...

I think opening a case with the TAC would be your best option at this 
point.
