For a start stop using ifconfig ... it's broken at this point on
linux, especially on multi ip and ipv6 scenarios
Use `ip -6 addr sh` for ipv6 specfic stuff, or just ip addr sh to see
all IP address stuff regardless of family

So are you not using NetworkManager then? there should be some logs ...

Only if the kernel is doing SLAAC ... if other things (eg NM) are
handling it directly they may act differently ... but then from the
lack of logs is NM actually handling this?
Does systemctl status NetworkManager show it running and does nmcli
show anything?

Sounds likely ... depending on what there RA's say and how dhcpv6 is
being handled there (if at all) it could drastically affect things -
particularly if MAC changed on migration.
