DHCP v6 is unlikely to happen on Android. The mobile operators are moving towards 464xlat in the US. There is already a 464xlat software (CLAT) running on the latest Android releases. The fear is that there might be restrictions on DHCP v6 servers where 1 MAC address is assigned 1 IPv6 address only. DHCPv6 conflicts with 464xlat on this, as it causes a confusion. Again, that's from the mobile operators perspective.
