Failing Ping from Spoke to Spoke

Have you seen this?

Ping to ipv6 address from spoke to spoke fails. The hub receives the packet, but it seems it does not forward some of them. I left only minimal commands, but the behavior does not change:

R5 is the Hub; R2 and R3, spokes.

Problem occurs if pinging from R2 to R3 or from R3 to R2.

Rack2R2#pi 2001:148:5:3::1
!.!.!

Hub config:

interface Serial0/0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ipv6 address 2001:148:5:235::5/64
 ipv6 address FE80::5 link-local
 ipv6 rip RIPng enable
 frame-relay map ipv6 FE80::2 502 broadcast
 frame-relay map ipv6 FE80::3 503 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 148.5.235.2 502 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 148.5.235.3 503 broadcast
 frame-relay map ipv6 2001:148:5:235::2 502 broadcast
 frame-relay map ipv6 2001:148:5:235::3 503 broadcast

To make sure the problem was related to Hub/spoke, I configured this:
BB2---R5----R3
It works fine:
BB2#pi 2001:148:5:3::1
!!!!!

Ping to R2 link-local address does not fail:
Rack2R3#pi FE80::2
Output Interface: serial1/0.235
!!!!!

Any feedback appreciated.
