I have no idea why are you having two bugs for the same issue open. The other bug has been reported over 16 months ago, yet made it into LTS release. Oneliner patch, fixed upstream, 16 month ago. Can we expect the thing released before the long term support is over for Xenial?

In turn, dhclient reports 'Can't bind to dhcp address: Cannot assign requested address', and fails almost immediately. It would seem that either wait-for-ll6.sh should wait for the link local address to come up AND stop being tentative, or the dhcp method for inet6 should call settle-dad.sh after wait-for-ll6? This is partly a race condition, so on slower devices the dad may complete by the time dhclient has got started, however I can regularly reproduce this on a virtual machine.
