I have absolutely the same problem over one of our links.

fping 192.168.101.1 -b 1500
192.168.101.1 is unreachable

ping 192.168.200.230  -s 1500
PING 192.168.200.230 (192.168.200.230) 1500(1528) bytes of data.
1508 bytes from 192.168.200.230: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=24.9 ms

but

fping 192.168.200.230 -b 12
192.168.200.230 is alive

I looked into packets and see that there is difference in content.
This is 2Mbit hdlc link betwee cisco 3660 and 1751...

Strange but true...
