Where I'm coming from in this is an expectation on my part that appears to not be shared. If duplicate MAC addresses are unusual but reasonably common (happen with some probability like .01% or whatever), there's a reasonable expectation that there would be a work-around for the issue. The work-around, I suggest, would be to have the station use a privacy address instead of a MAC-based address when a duplicate MAC address is detected.
Since privacy addresses are supposed to be configured alongside regular SLAAC addresses, there should be no need for an explicit fallback. Just enable both SLAAC and privacy simultaneously. If SLAAC fails, you still have privacy.
