Hi,
I think the statements apply to different scenarios.
The sequence number can be used to match an echo request and an echo
reply. But for UDP/TCP or any transport-layer communications,
addresses (regardless of the src or dest) change could lead to
communication interruption.

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Specification) states :
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4443#section-4.2)
[. . .]
"An Echo Reply SHOULD be sent in response to an Echo Request message
sent to an IPv6 multicast or anycast address
