I also suffer from this issue for a long time. All my computers work
fine, however my Ubuntu homeserver running virtual machines have
problems when I try to connect to them over IPv6 locally. They work at
first and then suddenly it stops working due to the neighbour
advertisement not reaching my router.

I can see the advertisement is being send on the actual host or vm's,
but that packet is not visible on the router or the clients. So this is
a bug in the bridge I guess? I really need a fix for this, can someone
explain the workaround for me?

Also, why is this bug not updated anymore? Was it fixed, or not
reproducable?

Title:
  bridge does not forward neighbor solicitation packets

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  3 hosts involved here:
  kailan is connected to a cisco switch, which is also connected to kurrat 
(eth3), which is running a bridge with tigernut connected to eth1.

  kurrat's controllers are 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel
  Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection, using the e1000e driver
  (3.13.0-65-generic kernel)

  (while kailan is doing a ping6

  Adding a host route for the 2001:: IP via the link IP on kailan works
  as a workaround, but the neighbor solicitiation packets are clearly
  not getting through the bridge.

  No firewall is configured on kurrat.
