The purpose of a solicit message is to find a DHCPv6 server or a relay agent, there's no implication that it has some immediate connection to address assignment (which makes IA options mandatory).

That is only true if the client included an IA option in a request in the first place (e.g. to ask for an address for this particular interface that is in this IA). If it did not include any IA options, the server consequently does not have to set the status code of the advertise message to NoaddrsAvail because address assignment can only be done in the context of an Identity Association.
