Well, I have come across increase in L3 incomplete errors previously when
testing with a M320 connected back to back on Ethernet to another router. On
the other end of the interface, I had LDP / OSPF enabled while it was
disabled on the M320 end of the interface. I did see L3 incompletes increase
consistently which disappeared once I  disabled LDP / OSPF on the other end
also.

If I remember correctly, the other end was connected to a M40e :)
