I'm surprised to see an IPv6 packet with link local scope source and a global scope destination.According to RFC3848 and RFC6724 this should not happen (prefer the larger scope, when choosing a source address from several candidates).
True, but some machines do not implement that properly and generate such message. Some may also do that intentionally for attacks etc.
It is reasonable for routers not to forward, but drop them (you cannot reject them with ICMP unreachable, as the sender address will never be reachable). Although, that involves a check and I assume that the routers in large transit networks do not have such checks enabled to save CPU cycles.
