I too am seeing this bug but with a slightly different use-case. If a user swaps out their default router, no IPv6 traffic will pass because of the static route installed. I have to disconnect the interface in Ubuntu and then reconnect to clear the static. At that point, the new default-route learnt via RA's takes over.
It would be really great to get this one fixed. As IPv6 deployment starts to ramp up it is going to affect more and more people.

This breaks the IPv6 architecture for router redundancy. I am in control of this network and can alter router advertisement parameters if needed.
