We hit this issue while testing 11.1R1, and oh what a mighty big screwup 
it was on Juniper's part too (that it even tries to parse the packets 
that are killing it in the first place, when NOT CONFIGURED TO DO SO, 
simply boggles the mind). Unfortunately it's also not the only "packet 
of death which crashes the FPCs" issue in 11.1 on EX, we also discovered 
another one which DIDN'T get fixed in 11.1S1, so you're taking your life 
into your own hands if you try to run that code in production. Oh and 
BTW, 11.1 on EX will also blackhole your packets while BGP converges 
following bootup, for up to 15 minutes in our testing. Consider 
yourselves warned. :)
