It did not just from restarting NetworkManager, I will have to try later bringing the interface down all the way and restarting.  I am connected over that network via ssh currently so I can't easily shut it down.

Oh, for completeness I went back to my VM and configured my interface with

IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
DHCPV6C=yes

And this is running....

/sbin/dhclient -d -q -6

But I have no global IPv6 address since there is no dhcpv6 server available.
