There would be interesting issues with having two interfaces with the same IPv6 address on a switch related to the switch's CAM table, I doubt it could work without channelizing at a lower layer. For what I have done, these tricks are not specific to IPv4 but lower in the stack by combining several physical interfaces into a single logical bundle at the data link layer; the IPv6 address is applied to the newly created logical interface. I mostly use Fast or Gigabit Etherchannel.
