| Is tunneling of packets destined for link local address just prohibited?
Yes, of course, but ...
| If it were allowed, does a router decapsulate the inner packet and send
| it to the interface which the destination address of the outer packet
| indicates?
No, the tunnel provides its own virtual interface. The link local
address needs to be the one assigned to that virtual interface, or
the packet will be discarded. It can't cross over to any other
interface (real or otherwise).
| How about in the case that the destination address of the outer packet
| is subnet router anycast address?
That's fine, if the box is a router, configured to answer that address
on that interface, then it will reply.
