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.
